![]() ![]() Younger vampires seem very human, they can eat and drink like humans, aren’t sensitive to the sun and don’t have fangs (which is why I was confused if Nothing was a vampire at first - he’s half human, after all). The vampire lore is interesting in this one though they are another species - born, not sired. I didn’t really find them interesting characters. They have a band called Lost Souls? which the main protagonist Nothing loves and wants to find. The characters Ghost and Steve also featured in other short stories by Poppy Z. This novel is adapted from the short story The Seed Of Lost Souls. This book came out two years before I was born after all! I read this for the first time recently, so I am not looking at this through rose (or blood) tinted glasses of nostalgia. ![]() ![]() This might have resonated with young goths, but also disgusted some. ![]() At the time it was also unique / controversial because it’s so graphic. Despite the word goth not being used in it, the club kids described are probably goths, and the music we love is referenced a lot. It’s about vampires, and you know a lot of us are suckers (#SorryNotSorry) for them. Since its 1992 release this book has been very popular in the goth scene. ![]()
