by Poppy Z. Brite
Along with 'Salem's Lot, the best vampire novel I've ever read. Recommended for mature readers who can deal with the homoerotic aspects. I once met the author! Very cool person, I'll always remember the few minutes we spent hanging out.
I didn't completely dislike this book. It just wasn't my kind of book. I probably would have liked it better if I had read it in the 90's when it first came out, when I was in my 20's and a lot of the angst and teen foolishness was still near the surface. The book opens in the French Quarter of ...
Lots of incestual gay vampire sex. Very goth. Everyone has stringy long black hair and painted black finger nails and cuts themselves. Maybe if I had gone through that phase I would have liked it more.
Nadie mejor que esta autora para hacerte pensar que el incesto es lo menos sorprendente en un libro .Anne Rice es aburrida , Poppy Z. Brite es aire fresco . Un toque de Rocky Horror Show y dialogos al estilo Greg Araki . Muyyy entretenido todo .
This was a lovely book. Poppy has a certain way of making you care for the character's you're supposed to be disgusted with or hate, and those you are meant to love you feel for deeply as well. Society and morals say that incest is wrong, but in no way did I feel there was anything wrong with Nothin...
I have started this book several times but never managed to finish it. I dislike so many of the characters that I doubt I'll do so.
I gave it a bland overall rating because the book was, overall, a letdown. I got the idea to read it on a horror novel kick that led me to Horror Writers Association's Horror Reading List. Brite's Lost Souls was on said list, and one of the newer titles to make the grade (quite a few books on the li...
If you're going through puberty and feeling weird, this is a great book to read. With enough vampires, gay sex, incest and goth clubbing to satisfy any young misunderstood oddball (and truthfully, I have never been in a single goth club that played "Bela Lugosi's Dead" even once, let alone every ni...
I brought this book with me on vacation, along with 6 others (what can I say, I'm finicky). After putting one book aside out of complete boredom I feared nothing would hold my attention. I ended up plowing my way through 280 pages of Lost Souls before I knew it. Being that its been nearly 12 years s...
I read this book years ago (like '92) and it still resonates with me today. When I read it I found it such an eye opening book. Nothing. I had dreams about green eyes for years. Part of me would like to revisit the characters, but I don't want to ruin the emotional ties this book has for me. I'm sur...
