<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>On a chilly, autumn night, on a lonely New Jersey highway, a teenager meets the boy of his dreams dressed in vintage clothing. When the boy vanishes, the teenager discovers he's encountered the local legend, the ghost of a young man who died four decades earlier and has haunted that stretch of road ever since. Curious and smitten, the next evening the teen returns with his best friend. So begins an unusual story of boy-meets-ghost complete with Ouija boards, hours spent in cemeteries, scares and macabre humor. This new edition of the book, to celebrate its thirteenth anniversary, features an introduction by <em>New York Times</em> best-selling author Holly Black.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Berman has created a creepy, kitschy, lusty atmosphere...gay teen readers who've been hankering for a horror story all their own will be thrilled with all of the creeps, crawls, chills, and eyeliner that Berman has to offer. - <em>School Library Journal</em></p><p> </p><p>"Berman is particularly adept at rendering lost boys in the hinterlands of queer adolescence, and the protagonist of <em>Vintage</em> might well be his most iconic." - Matthew Bright, author of <em>Stories to Sing in the Dark </em></p><p><br></p><p>"Steve Berman writes a chilling tale of ghosts, mixes it with urban myth while capturing goth youths' subculture, bittersweet first love, teen angst and the small town setting perfectly. A haunting and touching coming-of-age story full of dark humor that encompasses not only the unique struggles of gay teens, but the awkwardness, fears, anxieties and a sense of wonder that all teens can relate to." - Impressions of a Reader</p><p><br></p><p>"Berman has succeeded admirably in writing a powerful and poignant coming-out story." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</p><p><br></p><p>"With <em>Vintage</em>, Steve Berman took well-worn tropes of both young adult and speculative fiction and refocused them through a queer lens, creating a story that was groundbreaking, haunting, and deeply moving. It deserves to be remembered as a queer classic." - Michael Thomas Ford, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of <em>Lily </em>and <em>Suicide Notes</em></p><br>
