Vintage, by Steve Berman (Haworth Press, 2007)

When a young man meets the ghost of a long-dead teen along an empty stretch of road, it pulls him into a decades-old mystery. What seems at first to be a gay love story stretched across the years soon turns sinister and deadly, and the hero has to draw upon his friends and his own strengths to put things right before he pays a heavy price. Vintage is a powerful, haunting story, very atmospheric and spooky. The characterizations are crisp and believable, the interactions are real, and the main characters are fun to watch as they maneuver through life, love, and the occult. Berman’s got a great voice, and he weaves a splendid ghost story/gay coming-of-age tale.
