Library Journal Review
After her father's death, Zoe and her mother move to an apartment in the city. Only in her dreams, where she meets with her imaginary brother, Valentine, does Zoe feel comfortable-until the day she discovers a nameless shop that sells vinyl records. The owner takes an interest in her and shows her his special discs: "records" of the lives of people who have died, including Zoe's father. He agrees to let Zoe view her father's life for a small price-a lock of her hair. To see more, he demands a tooth and then asks even more. Zoe is an engaging protagonist, and her struggles to find herself are universal, even if her means of doing so are unusual. VERDICT The author of the Sandman Slim novels (Sandman Slim; Devil Said Bang) has crafted an intelligent stand-alone tale of quiet horror that should appeal to his many fans as well as to lovers of more subtle shivers.
