Drace (dracenines) | 7447 comments The movie tie-in English paperback of Let the Right One In (ISBN 9780312355296) has a pretty glaring issue with the author and another notable issue with the description.

The book has Ebba Segerberg listed as the primary author. This is incorrect. John Ajvide Lindqvist should be the primary author, and Segerberg should be labeled as the translator.

Also, the description on the book page does not actually match what's on the book's back cover. The description from the book (minus the praise quotes, since I know Goodreads doesn't include those) is as follows (transcribed from my library copy):

Twelve-year-old Oskar is obsessed by the murder that's taken place in his neighborhood. Then he meets the new girl from next door. She's a bit weird, though. And she only comes out at night....

(If needed, here is a link to the Amazon page with the book's back cover included: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0312355297)

Thanks! Could you please add the role Translator to Ebba Segerberg's name?
