What is the author's style in The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause?

The author has written The Silver Kiss in a poetic style that evokes strong emotions such as both horror and the romance equally in the text. By making both of the main characters interested in poetry, the author allows the story some room to play with the allegorical and poetic language and thus creating the feeling of events much more vividly than by description alone. This poetic approach gets us into the characters emotions and hearts, and affects our own imaginations much more deeply than just a factual presentation of events. In this way, the vampire youth Simon is described as 'angel-like' and "eyes like stars" or Zoe as "walking in beauty."
