***SPOILER ALERT***
If you haven't read the book or seen the movie and don't want to be spoiled, don't read below.
*******************
It concerns a young boy, 12 years old, who lives a pretty solitary life with his mother in an apartment complex in Sweden. His "friends" from school seem to enjoy torturing and bullying him whenever they get a chance, but he never fights back.
A young girl moves in next door, and they meet. They become friends and pretty close. We know that she's a vampire who's living with an older non-vampire man. In the book he's a pedophile where he gets blood (murders people) for her in exchange to do...things to her. In the movie, he plays a much smaller role and later gets caught trying to kill someone and dies.
She then has to feed herself, and the boy, named Oscar, finds out she's a vampire. He cares too much for her and wants to remain boyfriend/girlfriend with her. Oscar even prevents Eli's (the vampire) own murder from an enraged husband of a wife she had tried to kill but was stopped by the husband.
She tells him to stand up for himself against his bullies, and he does. He smacks one of the kids in the ear with a large pole when they tried to toss him into an icy lake.
Eli must leave the apartment because she fears the police might find her after the large string of murders in the area. Oscar seems devastated that she's left.
Later, the kid who was smacked in the head's older brother wants revenge, so they corner Oscar when he's in a swimming pool and tell him he must stay underwater for 3 whole minutes, or they'll slice his face.
As the camera's panned on Oscar holding his breath underwater with the kid's hand holding him down, we see some body parts start to enter the water. A head sinks to the bottom. Oscar surfaces and finds Eli had killed all the boys. Then the film ends.

it is similar, I can't deny that. But honest to god Ive never seen the movie or read the book. It does seem interesting, I must admit. Is there any way to get a hold of the author?

I have no idea how you could contact the author, but his name is John Ajvide Lindqvist. Based on his picture, he looks like a pretty kooky guy. He was a magician and comedian before he became an author.

it was and is a real federal agency.. that says vampires r real
under the link is a video thats a news report that talks with the head of the agency and the person who made the website... he talks about making a memorial for the men and women who died fighting the vampires. the goverment agrees(and dont denial they dont exsist) they also talk about a training site where they trained the agents in the agency in new mexico and etc. in the website ull see they call the vampire thing, a virus.. and so they call the virus: the hvv virus. otherwise known as the Human Vampric virus..
www.youtube.com...
the youtube (news) link to prove it is above...
the webiste talks about their inventigating and encounters... and etc. also proves that warewolf and zombie myths r also a diesease(virus) inwhich they have soposity handled with. i myself was a skeptic at first.. i did think it was odd.. and proved the website was a real federal website in someway and so looked it up on wkipedia(its not so helpful but gave me more hope) so i thrived through and found the video u see above(the news report about saying VAMPIRES R REAL)
if u will see with the knowledge ull gain with the website and as proof the website and etc real u can take a look on the video and look it up if it helps on wkipedia as well.. but vampires r real... theres no myth in that.

Reality is we don't know. With those new bones being found of 3 foot high humans, not a pigmy race, but a minature race, we don't know what roamed the earth before historical times. Dinasaurs lived, maybe even dragons too. Vampires? Why not. What i want to know is that the teeth, those big ones that stick out. I had them and my sister had them and we are romanian gypsy descent, did they for vampires, have holes in them like snakes, to suck blood, or only just to pierce the skin?? Odd question I know but......
