Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The sequel to S.P. Somtow's groundbreaking novel Vampire Junction - voted one of the top 40 horror books of all time - was called by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho, "the closest thing to a nightmare ever put on paper." Timmy Valentine vanished from the world in a bloody conflagration in a small Idaho town. Ten years later, they're making a movie about his mysterious life. Angel Todd is mountain boy from Hangman's Holler, Kentucky, who has won the Timmy Valentine lookalike contest. But the movie stirs up old evils — a fanatic televangelist, a dark-forces worshipping New Age witch, a Shoshone shaman, a crazy film director are all waiting to sell their souls to bring about one apocalypse or another. Amid all this … where is Timmy Valentine? … who lives in the Looking-Glass world, ready to emerge from the mirror to take over the lives of people in our own world? Praise for VAMPIRE JUNCTION "the grimmest vampire fantasy ever set to paper—sure to become a cult classic!" — New York DAILY NEWS Praise for VALENTINE "a marvel of storytelling — a satisfyingly orgasmic climax — if this novel is to be compared profitably to anything, it should be to the works of Anne Rice. Each is acutely sexual and highly charged — but somehow Somtow has greater energy and even more wonderous kinks. —Edward Bryant in Locus "Somtow's versatility as a writer of SF, fantasy, and horror gives him a unique approach to the ever-popular vampire novel."— Library Journal "a worthy sequel to his decadent splatterpunk classic, Vampire Junction"— Northern Echo
