He is described as tall and wiry, with a hawkish nose, and long black hair he rarely washes. He works in a record shop in his home town called the Whirling Disc. Steve was raised in Missing Mile, North Carolina. Several characters introduced in the novel make appearances in Brite's second novel, Drawing Blood, though it is not a direct sequel.
