Description

Poppy Z. Brite re-imagines the haunted house novel, creating a fresh, sensual, and totally original reading experience.

IT'S A PASSION. IT'S AN ART. IT'S THE ONLY WAY OUT...

In the house on Violin Road he found the bodies of his brother, his mother, and the man who killed them both -- his father. From the house on Violin Road, in Missing Mile, North Carolina, Trevor McGee ran for his sanity and his soul, after his famous cartoonist father had exploded inexplicably into murder and suicide. Now Trevor is back.

In the company of a New Orleans computer hacker on the run from the law, Trevor has returned to face the ghosts that still live on Violin Road, to find the demons that drove his father to murder his family -- and worse, to spare one of his sons... But as Trevor begins to draw his own cartoon strip, he loses himself in a haze of lines and art and thoughts of the past, the haunting begins. Trevor and his lover plunge into a cyber-maze of cartoons, ghosts, and terror that will lead either to understanding -- true understanding -- or to a blood-raining repetition of the past...

Praise for Drawing Blood

"Electrifying... explosive lyricism... [a] soul-sucking antagonist... rich background descriptions. That there is a Brite future never doubt." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Exotica... disaffected youth... a spicy gumbo of sub-cultural hipness simmered in a cauldron of modern horror fiction." -- Fangoria

"Darker and more exotic than Anne Rice, more cerebral than Stephen King... Horror is rarely this good." -- Echo
