"Terrible things, happen in this book. . . murders, tortures, rapes, abandonments.
. . it's about rock music, about mass hysteria, about vampires, about horror. . . one
comes out knowing, and caring, about a panoply of new friends and acquaintances,
living and dead, and unalive." . . .Theodore Sturgeon, The Washington Post

Welcome to Timmy Valentine's world.
Valentine is a pop star, the idol of millions of young girls and boys. His voice
would make the angels weep; his eyes hold you in thrall.
Timmy appears to be about eleven years old. He is actually over two thousand.
Timmy Valentine is a vampire, and though our modern skeptic age refuses to
believe, Timmy has come to realize that he is in danger as never before.
Too many people have seen him. Photos and recordings survive as paintings and
sculpture never could. Soon, someone will realize that Timmy Valentine has never
grown up.




VAMPIRE Junction
S.P. SOMTOW

MIDNIGHT SACRIFICE
Then comes the smell of blood, overwhelming his senses. He goes up the steps to the altar
where the girl lies bleeding, dying. "I do not want to feed," he says to her; yet, his hunger
pounds like an ocean wave. He removes her bonds; she does not struggle now. "You are a
virgin, of course," he says, remembering. "They use virgins." She only stares at him, awed,
fascinated. "Now I will love you as only the dead can love." He sips the life from her.
Warmth shoots into his veins, tingling, soothing. His eyes redden. She stirs, moans, is gone. .
