A new collection of short stories from the Swedish master of the macabre, featuring a brief sequel to Let the Right One In.

Customs officer Tina can smell a smuggler's guilt. Josef has a close encounter with Death - and discovers you can negotiate. Joel's apartment building is starting to... list.

Wickedly imaginative, gleefully bloodthirsty, Let the Old Dreams Die features a classic Lindqvist cast of lovers, loners, and losers. All flawed, all touched by the desire to be loved, all deeply human. Even some of those who are not human at all.
