"Lost Souls" by Poppy Z. Brite is a captivating and chilling novel that explores the darker side of human nature and the supernatural. The story follows a group of young misfits, each with their own unique and troubled past, as they come together in a small, forgotten town in the American South. At the heart of the novel is the mysterious and alluring Nothing, a 200-year-old vampire who has the power to entrance and control those around him. Nothing is searching for his long-lost love, and he enlists the help of the other characters in his quest. Brite's writing is lush and evocative, and she creates a vivid and atmospheric world that is both beautiful and terrifying. The characters are complex and well-developed, and the reader cannot help but become invested in their lives and fates. One of the most striking aspects of "Lost Souls" is the way that Brite explores themes of sexuality and identity.
