This is very deeply grungy '90s horror, which despite the lavishly (lovingly, one might say) described . . . everything - horror, blood, injury, drugs (so, so many drugs), abuse, rape, nightmares, murder, and so on - within its pages . . . nothing of that feels terribly present. At least for me, most of it was at most disturbing of the cringe and blegh stripe if anything, not the kind of horror that makes an impression or lingers. I've seen a number of people say they might have liked this book if they'd read it as a teenager, or similar; someone else commented that 30 is too old to start reading Poppy Brite. I'm in my 30s and I can fairly confidently say that I wouldn't have enjoyed this as a teenager either . . . and the heavy content might have been enough to screw with my head more than it did reading it now.

Would appeal to the dark eyeliner 13-year old, but I don’t appreciate YA lit. of any ilk. Brite, er I mean, Martin loses no opportunity in having her/his/their characters stop what they’re doing and drop the plot to get it on with anything alive or dead. If anyone thinks this is a fine depiction of gay or hetero sex, well you must be thinkin’ rape and incest are the bees knees. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:Vampires . . . they ache, they love, they thirst for the forbidden. They are your friends and lovers, and your worst fears. "A major new voice in horror fiction . . . an electric style and no shortage of nerve."â??Booklist At a club in Missing Mile, N.C., the children of the night gather, dressed in black, look for acceptance. Among them are Ghost, who sees what others do not; Ann, longing for love; and Jason, whose real name is Nothing, newly awakened to an ancient, deathless truth about his father, and himself. Others are coming to Missing Mile tonight. Three beautiful, hip vagabondsâ??Molochai, Twig, and the seductive Zillah, whose eyes are as green as limesâ??are on their own lost journey, slaking their ancient thirst for blood, looking for supple young flesh. They find it in Nothing and Ann, leading them on a mad, illicit road trip south to New Orleans. Over miles of dark highway, Ghost pursues, his powers guiding him on a journey to reach his destiny, to save Ann from her new companions, to save Nothing from himself. . . . "An important and original work . . . a gritty, highly literate blend of brutality and sentiment, hope and despair."â??Science Fiction Chronicle Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Despite that, this book is full of VERY triggering, nasty moments and very dated commentary on sexual assault. I know — it's a horror novel, but a lot of the grossest moments feel like they're there because... they can be?
