Description

In September 1985, nineteen-year-old John Lindqvist moved into a dilapidated old building in Stockholm, planning to make his living as a magician. Something strange was going on in the locked shower room in the buildings basementand the price of entry was just a little blood.

I Always Find You is a horror storyas bizarre and macabre as any of Lindqvists earlier novelsbut its also a melancholy meditation on being young and lonely, on making friends and growing up. Its about magic, and the intensity of human connectionand the evil we carry inside.
