"You don't have to be blood to be family."

Santa Carla in the mid-80's had one hell of a nightlife. It was the Murder Capital Of The World and the Boardwalk was a bright neon jewel in California's supernatural crown. That was until Max showed up to stake his claim. The locals were not about to simply step aside and let that happen however. Not without a fight. So a band of blood brothers, The Lost Boys, teamed up with an unlikely ally to defend what was rightfully theirs.

That was a big mistake.

Enjoy the People Are Strange: Special Anniversary Edition of the backstory fic of the 80's cult classic film that brought a new generation of bloodsuckers into the bright neon-infused light. Plot-holes are filled. Questions are answered. New chapters/content has now been brought to light. As to why the Lost Boys, a pack of blood-thirsty nightcrawlers, ended up dusted the way they did...or did they...there is only one way to crack that old chestnut.

Here is the new Character Theme Song Collection that goes hand-in-hand with the story. For a completely immersed reading experience make sure to follow along with the chapter song selections that will be added to the chapters as we go along as well as the character inspired song titles below. These songs are true to form of all things The Lost Boys and are a prime example of the vivid neon bright big-haired vibe of the 1980's. So much hair. So many leg warmers. And a whole lotta leather. Meow!

So sit back, relax, and let the good times roll!
