Vampire Junction has been voted one of the top 40 horror books of all time.

Wild ride!!

A haunted thousands year old tween pop star vampire thirsting not only for blood but for meaning. A twelve year old boy with the singing voice of an angel and the wisdom of 3 thousand years and the concurrent nagging question of who am I? What am I ? What is my relationship to the human race and Life itself. The devastating wake of destruction and bloodlust when the Thirst hits and new undead rise to feed and scurry about in the shadows. Surreal, Grotesque and Beautiful!!
