Valentine [signed] [first edition]

Timmy Valentine is a vampire - he was created magically in an alchemical experiment performed in ancient Pompeil. But unlike most vampires of fiction, Timmy is not an adult - Timmy is forever and always an 11-year-old boy with a beautiful soprano voice and a face like an angel. In our time, he appeared as a teenage rock-star, powerful and reclusive. At the end of Vampire Junction, Timmy was very nearly destroyed, and the spell binding him to the Earth nearly broken.Ten years have passed since Timmy Valentine's "disappearance" in the fiery destruction of the town of Junction. But like Elvis, he is more popular than ever. The script for "The Timmy Valentine Story" has finally been approved by the record company, and it is time to cast the lead role. The attention of the whole world is turned to the mysterious disappearance of Timmy Valentine, and to speculation about who will win the coveted role.But there are a few people still alive who know what happened during those dreadful days in Junction, Idaho. Brian Zottoli remembers. So does his friend PJ. And so does Terry Gish, who seemed to have survived the vampire-ridden night in Junction - but who has just died in an accident, and risen to stalk the streets of Los Angeles as a vampire himself. And the Gods of Chaos still survive, a few of them at least. They don't believe that Timmy is beyond their reach. And they are right.It's all beginning again.
