Other that I would definitly recommend John Ajvide Lindqvists "Let the right one in", "Handling the Undead" and most definitly his latets "Human Guise" once that is released. John writes very good horror-stories
Don't like horror stories... And I don't mind Dutch or English, I read English as fluent. It's just that I don't read Swedish
