![]() Though just how Eli became a vampire is not fully revealed, there is some more insight into her background and how she became the androgynous being that she is today. The reader can almost feel the horrible pain and confusion that she goes through during her transformation.Ī few things that are unclear in the film are more deeply explored in the novel. Some of the more disturbing parts of the book are those involving Virginia, after Eli has bitten her. When she enters a place she was not invited, blood comes out of every pore in her body. While feeding or attacking, Eli can not only produce claws from her hands and feet, but also wings that actually allow her to fly. What Lindqvist adds are some of the physical differences having to do with Eli’s “infection,” as it is called. The drinking of blood to stay strong, the danger of the sun, and the requirement to be invited in are all there. Like any good storyteller, Lindqvist makes his own adaptations to the vampire lore while still retaining those classic elements that most people know. ![]()
