I am OBSESSED with Lost Souls by Billy Martin (as Poppy Z. Brite)
I bought the book and I keep it with me wherever I go, I got my hands on an old copy so it has that library scent. Zillah and Nothing are my favorite characters, I dislike Steve and Ghost a lot.
I have been dying to meet other fans of lost souls, everyone I already know just doesn't understand or care or pay attention.
I was so inspired by Zillah and Nothing after rereading Lost Souls that I started my own novel series about multiple clans of hedonistic Chartreuse drinking musician biflexable mostly gay vampires. Though my universe vampires have vampire religion based laws, they worship Dracula and males and females are two separate biologically incompatible species.
Won't start self publishing it till I finish book 3, half way done with book 2 atm.
I fucking love Lost Souls so much its one if my biggest inspirations next to Anne Rice's vampire chronicles and Clive Barkers work
