Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I understand that this was his first novel (I haven't verified that). IF so, it's a gruesome delight full of beautifully amoral vampire boys. Some of the action takes place in the same fictional Missing Mile, North Carolina location of another Poppy Z Brite book that I read recently: Drawing Blood.

I would have to say that Lost Souls is perhaps the bloodier of those two novels, but that there may be more heart in Drawing Blood.

I borrowed both of these from the library, but they are certainly on my 'to buy' list as well.

I hope Poppy will find what he needs to write another novel soon, or perhaps a memoir!
