Valentine
S. P. Somtow · 3 novels · 1 novelette · 2 short stories · 1984–1998
S. P. Somtow's Valentine sequence begins with Vampire Junction, centered on Timmy Valentine, a child rock star who is secretly a 2,000-year-old vampire performing to sold-out arenas. The horror plays out through a fragmented, media-saturated style meant to echo the look of music television and splatter film rather than gothic tradition. Later books follow the same character further into his impossibly long, publicly visible unlife.
