There should be, it was released in paperback in July. Btw, I checked his webpage and his next book will be relased in May 2010
"Little Star is a story of two girls.
Lilla Stjärna är berättelsen om två flickor.
During a forest-outing the popular singer Lennart discovers an infant buried in a plasticbag. He saves the girls life and her first cries makes him speechless. From the tiny body rises a series of perfectly pitched notes. He brings the girl home and hides her in his basement. Her innosence and musicality will give meaning to his life.
She is the girl with the golden hair.
Att the same time another girl is born in a town in the middle of sweden. Her life isn't a happy one. She thinks she is grey and plain with few talents and even fewer friends. She finds comfort in mean pranks and trolling internetforums.
She is the other girl.
Eventually the path of the two girls crosses. A fierce friendship is formed, with devastating consequences for anyone who comes to close to it.
Little Star is a story of love and obsession, about a voice from another world and idolizing in the extreme. How far are you willing to go for someone you admire more than anything.
In Little Star John Ajvide Lindqvist once again brings horror into the ordinary and contemporary Sweden. Young people in a world of distant grownup defends themselves by any means available, including power tools if necessary. This is his darkest book today and sensitive readers should be warned."
