Companions of the Night

The Edgar Award–winning author of Never Trust a Dead Man puts a terrifying spin on what should be a typical night in a small town.

Sixteen-year-old Kerry has got a tough night ahead of her. What begins as a simple lost-and-found trip to the laundromat to rescue her little brother’s stuffed koala bear turns into a nightmarish odyssey of murder, vampires, and—quite possibly—true love.

“Interview with a Vampire for the learner's permit set. ” —The Horn Book

“A freshly written thriller, an offbeat love story, an engaging twist on the vampire novel, and an exciting tale of moral complexity … . Point [this] book at the Lois Duncan fans as well as Anne Rice followers, and get out of the way. ” —The Bulletin

“[Vande Velde] is a master at taking traditional fairy-tale-like themes and making them fresh and totally unique. Companions of the Night … does that for the vampire story … . The narrative is tightly wound, keeping readers ready for excitement and action. ” —Emma Carbone, New York Public Library
