Lost Souls

by Poppy Z. Brite

First published 2010

Ghost sees things others cannot see. He watches the black-clad youth who gather at Missing Mile's club, just outside New Orleans, searching for acceptance. Ann wants love. Jason calls himself Nothing and seeks answers about his father and his own identity. Three beautiful strangers enter Missing Mile tonight: Molochai, Twig, and green-eyed Zillah. These ancient vampires travel together, feeding their blood thirst and craving young flesh. They target Nothing and Ann. Ghost must follow them all. He races to rescue Ann from her dangerous new companions and save Nothing from his own dark path. This novel captures the collision between vulnerable youth seeking belonging and predators who exploit that hunger.
