La llegada de Eli y Håkan al edificio de Oskar coincide con el comienzo de los asesinatos. Asesinatos curiosos, víctimas colgadas boca abajo, todas sin una gota de sangre.
Oskar es un niño solitario y triste, apenas si tiene algunos conocidos, pero nadie a quien llamar amigo. Conoce a Eli intentando resolver un cubo rubick y ella, aficionada a los puzzles, se lo pide prestado. Allí comienza una historia.
Déjame entrar es un entresijo de tres historias principales relacionadas. La de Eli y Oskar, la de Håkan, el asesino, y la de un grupo de amigos bastante borrachos que ha perdido a un miembro a manos del recién llegado asesino de Blackberg… o eso creen ellos.
Eli guarda muchos secretos. Huele mal y tiene canas. Tampoco va al colegio y no parece tener amigas. No siente frío ni siquiera cuando la nieve cubre la ciudad y solo sale por la noche, lo que intriga a Oskar. Oskar tiene tendencia ala obesidad, lee mucho y los chicos del colegio se meten con el, fatasea con acuchillar a la pandilla que lo acosa y desea pasar desapercibido para que nadie se fije en él.
La violencia esta expuesta con salvaje crudeza, sin caer nunca en el gore. Es realista. No es la novela donde los vampiros tienen un glamour y una clase intachable, como los de Anne Rice. John Ajvide Llindqvist muestra a sus vampiros como seres oscuros, terribles, y narra la novela con crudeza y realismo, mientras las historias se van entretejiendo entre ellas para complicarse cada vez más.

Al principio me desconcertó y tuve que esperar hasta engancharme, de hecho en algunos puntos pensé en dejarlo porque en el primer tercio me aburría. Menos mal que no lo hice porque en general es una lectura muy recomendable.

What a gorgeous, deeply nauseating book. The shifting perspectives never felt overwhelming or odd; it helped stitch together this really complicated story. The complicated friendship/puppy love/something deeper between Eli and Oskar was really gorgeous to read on the page. This is actually one of the only vampire stories I've ever read that doesn't romanticize vampirism (and don't get me wrong, I do love that); it's not something sensual or erotic, it's a deeply isolating burden. It's seen as and treated like the curse it really is, which is a really refreshing take on vampirism. I only wish it moved faster - the events of the book take place over the course of a matter of days, but with how much happens and how dense it gets, it does drag a little.
To this day, one of my favorite vampire stories. I watched the film when I was younger and still navigating who I was, and Eli's "I am not a boy, I am not a girl, I am nothing" speech has always struck something in me. I'm glad I finally got to know the full story.

messystopheles's review against another edition
Listen, I saw the trigger warnings, but this was the most Dead Dove Do Not Eat book I’ve ever read. I was hoping for a fucked up little story about a kid who will definitely be a serial killer someday and his friendship with a bitchy vampire girl, but it was too fucked up for me.

This book is an excellent example of friendship definitely has its own issues. Oskar and Eli are always a treat to read and I love their chemistry together. The other side plot that I enjoyed was Virginia and slow descent as she turns into a vampire with all the psychological trauma that goes with it. Plenty of horror elements that are through the book, but I would say this is character driven and thankfully I do love these characters and this was a fantastic reading experience.

Neglected kids, delinquents, bullies, alcoholics, pedophiles, single parents, teachers, police, and, of course, vampires and zombies collide in the seamy pre-planned suburban underbelly of Sweden. The first 20 pages of this book set my expectation for depth that was only occasionally met in the remaining 450. So, it was ok for a genre read but I need more than plot to give more stars.

On page 30 something is an explicit scene between adults and a kid. Child pornography is a hard pass for me.
