Vintage: 13th Anniversary Edition

By Steve Berman
Vintage: 13th Anniversary Edition by Steve Berman digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

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 a new introduction by New York Times best-selling author Holly Black and an afterword by the author

"With Vintage, 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, Five-time Lambda Literary Award-winning author of Lily and Suicide Notes

"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." - School Library Journal

“I’m conflicted on how to rate this book… When I first read this book as a teen I was absolutely in love with it. I remember thinking “this is the first book I can see myself relating to the main character” … how many books are there, especially when I was in high school, about gay emo kids. This was the book that ignited my love for reading. And for nostalgia purposes I can’t give it any less than 4 stars Rereading this book as an adult however, it’s very cringy. But what can you expect from a book written for teens in 2007. The plot was a little chaotic, and it’s definitely not the most well written book I’ve read. Also I find it a bit odd the main character was never named. I did have fun reading it- it brought back a lot of fond memories. I can definitely see why I loved this book so much when I was younger.”
