(4) YA Illustrated by Kelly Yates. All of Locke Vinetti's relationships have been damaged by his tendency toward angry, violent outbursts. When Locke's rage threatens his first real romance, he must find a way to reject "the venom" for good. The writing is overwrought, but readers may be compelled by Locke's forays into Manhattan's counterculture, reflected in occasional dark comic-book-style vignettes.
