      About This Book

      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
