"Berman has created a creepy, kitschy, lusty atmosphere...gay teen readers who've been hankering for a horror story all their own will be thrilled with all of the creeps, crawls, chills, and eyeliner that Berman has to offer. - School Library Journal

"Berman is particularly adept at rendering lost boys in the hinterlands of queer adolescence, and the protagonist of Vintage might well be his most iconic." - Matthew Bright, author of Stories to Sing in the Dark

"Steve Berman writes a chilling tale of ghosts, mixes it with urban myth while capturing goth youths' subculture, bittersweet first love, teen angst and the small town setting perfectly. A haunting and touching coming-of-age story full of dark humor that encompasses not only the unique struggles of gay teens, but the awkwardness, fears, anxieties and a sense of wonder that all teens can relate to." - Impressions of a Reader

"Berman has succeeded admirably in writing a powerful and poignant coming-out story." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"With Vintage, Steve Berman took well-worn tropes of both young adult and speculative fiction and refocused them through a queer lens, creating a story that was groundbreaking, haunting, and deeply moving. It deserves to be remembered as a queer classic." - Michael Thomas Ford, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of Lily and Suicide Notes
