Black Light by Elizabeth Hand
Evocative dark/gothic American mystery novel from the author of Glimmering and Waking the Moon. A creepy, fantastic mystery centred around the strange life of Axel Kern -- an enigmatic, charismatic cult director with a particular taste for the peculiar -- and four teenagers on the cusp of adulthood: Lit Moylan, Ali Fox and the Finn brothers. Black Light is a brilliant, literate blending of genres: age of innocence tale, contemporary fantasy and murder mystery set against a wonderfully realised backdrop of second-rate acting dynasties in the old colonial town of Kamensic, USA.
