āA love letter to the power of music, this thoughtful, humorous exploration of what constitutes living versus mere survival sees Chen (Light Years from Home) at the top of his game.ā āPublishers Weekly starred review
"A strong emotional core carries Chenās (Light Years from Home, 2022) latest, which is ultimately about healing from old wounds and learning how to embrace life again after lossāeven if youāre dead." āBooklist
Being a vampire is far from glamorousā¦but it can be pretty punk rock.
Everything youāve heard about vampires is a lie. They canāt fly. No murders allowed (the community hates that). And turning into a bat? Completely ridiculous. In fact, vampire life is really just a lot of blood bags and night jobs. For Louise Chao, itās also lonely, since she swore off family ages ago.
At least sheās gone to decades of punk rock shows. And if she can join a band of her own (while keeping herā¦situation under wraps), maybe sheāll finally feel like she belongs, too.
Then a long-lost teenage relative shows up at her door. Whether itās Ianās love of music or his bad attitude, for the first time in ages, Louise feels a connection.
But as Ian uncovers Louiseās true identity, things get dangerousāespecially when he asks her for the ultimate favor. One that goes beyond just familyā¦one that might just change everything vampires know about life and death forever.
