Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite

4.0

I haven't read any of Doc Brite's books again in adulthood except this one. And in adulthood, it definitely wasn't the same. I was more annoyed by the characters and didn't relate much, like adults tend to be with youth. But, in my teen years, this book was everything. Probably too adult, probably too messed up, but made me feel so met by the dark world he created. So, it being that important to me then means a lot now. And regardless of what he's writing about, Brite's writing style is always a pleasure to experience.

I think Doc Brite's later novels about the chef's like Prime are what are better for adults. Though I was pretty young when I read that, too.
