Or a trip to the second hand bookshop where I got it. We in Ireland aren't as gothy as you in the U.S. (The scene has "huge potential for growth amd improvement" as they say in P.R.) so a lot of goth horror turns up there.
I wasn't put off by the likeability of her characters, but I did find the pace of the plot rather poor, a few places where things fast foward and it's hard to work out what happened in between, and the main thing was the style of prose, which seemed to me like a carbon copy of Brite. I enjoyed Brite's Exquisite Corpse though. Not to mention cheesy pulp vampire stuff from the 19th century onwards and the historic adventure novel as well.
