Vampire Junction, S. P. Somtow's groundbreaking novel of vampiric
horror, introduced Timmy Valentine, a world-famous rock star with the
body of a 12 year old boy...and the ageless soul of a bloodthirsty
predator. Timmy returned in Valentine, in which he finally shed his
undead curse forever. Or did he?
In Vanitas, Timmy Valentine has relinquished his immortality and
transferred his vampiric essence to young Angel Todd. Timmy is now an
ordinary boy, awakened at last from an ancient nightmare. His new album
has just come out, but there's something missing. In a desperate bid to
salvage his career, he goes on a world tour. Every stop, though, brings
haunting memories of his inhuman past and terrifying manifestations of a
blood-drenched future.
