Here's the summary from Poppy's site, written by her:

" LOST SOULS (1992). First novel, and boy does it ever show -- not because it isn't good; it's lush and passionate and energetic as hell, but because I threw in everything in the world in hopes of hitting the full-length novel mark. Basically, it's about a bunch of kids: 15-year-old babygoth Nothing, who runs away from his suburban home to seek his (God help me) favorite band; the band members themselves, Steve and Ghost, a redneck and a psychic from Missing Mile, North Carolina; and Molochai, Twig, and Zillah, a roving band of freaks who end up being Nothing's real family. There's a plot in there somewhere, involving trips to New Orleans during which the noxious green liqueur Chartreuse is consumed, love and betrayal, babies who eat their way out of the womb, and lots and lots of blood, sex, drugs, cheap wine, and Twinkies."

It's about vampires. I couldn't find a real summary, just reviews and a tiny bit about the 10th anniversary edition and what it contains. Might I suggest trying to find the book in the bookstore, and reading the actual summary that way?
