I don't think that this has been posted yet, but when I was looking for more information on Himmelstrand and it's upcoming English language release a week ago I found this via our local publisher (Text Publishing), who has handled all of John's previous books. I AM BEHIND YOU is set for an Australian release on the 27th of June 2016. It's funny, I was looking on Amazon UK so I could pre-order a copy but I couldn't find anything, but I did manage to pre-order a copy through Text Publishing's website. Here's hoping they stick to the June release date and don't push it back for a Halloween October release.
I would really like to sink my teeth into this book from next month.

In case you haven't already heard what inspired the English title for this novel:
But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist

Yes, it's small. But it is made in an era when cars had engines of 50 horsepowers (or less), and the camping grounds were filled with tents.

I get what you're saying. In any case I can't wait to start reading the book.
Without revealing anything, does the new title somehow explained in the novel?
