Description

Four childhood friends in present-day New Orleans are torn apart by envy, passion, and a secret murder. Five years ago, Meredith, Brandon, Greg, and Stephen quickly discover the fragile boundaries between friendship and betrayal as they enter high school and form new allegiances. Meredith, Brandon, and Greg gain popularity, while Stephen is viciously treated as an outcast. Then two violent deaths destroy the already delicate bonds of their friendship. When the friends are drawn back together, new facts about their mutual history are exposed and what was held to be a tragic accident is revealed as murder. As the true story emerges, other secrets begin to unravel with more dangerous, far-reaching consequences. A Density of Souls is a stunning debut novel that uncovers the darker side of the teenage psyche.

Media Reviews

“An intriguing, complex story, a hard-nosed, lyrical, teenage take on Peyton Place.” —Publishers Weekly “A chillingly perverse tale in which secrets are buried, then unearthed…Very earnest plot.” —USA Today “An imaginative, gothic tale.” —Rocky Mountain News “Solid debut novel…An absorbing tale.” —Kansas City Star “Tormented families…unspeakable secrets…a bloodthirsty young man. No, it’s not Anne Rice, but her twenty-one-year-old son, Christopher.” —Village Voice “[Rice’s] characters speak and act with an ease that proves [him] to be wiser than his years.” —Austin Chronicle “He’s learned…a storyteller’s sense of timing. And he capably brings a gay teen’s inner turmoil to life.” —Seattle Weekly

Author's Bio

Born in San Francisco and raised in New Orleans from the age of ten, Christopher Rice published four New York Times bestsellers, received a Lambda Literary Award, and was declared one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive, all by the age of thirty. His debut novel, A Density of Souls, was greeted with a landslide of media attention, much of it an offshoot of his mother’s fame as a legendary vampire chronicler. His supernatural thriller The Heavens Rise was a Bram Stoker Award nominee. The InsightOut Book Club selected his book Blind Fall as a best novel of 2008. In addition, his noir thriller Light Before Day was hailed as a “book of the year” by Lee Child. He has served as a contributing columnist to The Advocate and has been published in the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and Salon.com. His short fiction has been featured in the anthologies Thriller and Los Angeles Noir.
