Review

 

"He Waits for Darkness to Strike  is an incredibly scary horror story with skillfully proportioned number of events, classical horrific elements that afterwards makes you wonder - was it just a bogey or was there an actual sound? Until you're not wondering anymore but instead find yourself screaming at the top of your lungs."

DN - Lotta Olsson

 

"He Waits for Darkness to Strike ... Holst has managed to mix both horror and mystery with his humoros language where the result is a simply brilliant YA book. The book contains plenty of classic elements yet it feels fresh and unique"
