Lost in the shadows of his kind, David feels he is heading straight into an eternity of meaningless existence. Until he meets Star.

The past is too fresh and too painful to visit when you're a new vampire. Ruby learns the hard line that separates the living from the undead. David's paranoia grows as The Lost Boys are fractured by drama and the threat of attack from a rival vampire gang. Not everyone is going to survive, no matter how much you prepare... -- I began The Carousel Series nearly 20 years ago. "A Song For the Dead" is republished here in its original form, unchanged. That means you get to see all the mistakes; a lack of punctuation, bad grammar and sorely needing an editor. The bones of the story are solid and I'm still immensely proud of what I created with this series. I think some of the strongest imagery I've ever written is in the first few chapters, and although I had some trouble with the later half of the story, "A Song For the Dead" is my favorite sequel in The Carousel Series. "A Song For the Dead" is the third story in "The Carousel Series". You need to read the series in order, else wise you will be sorely confused.

What if the movie wasn't just a fantasy but based in truth? Ruby's not thrilled about the proposition David proposes, but her life in Los Angeles isn't going anywhere.
