Newton taught us that bodies with mass attract each other according to the universal law of gravitation (mass-mass attraction) and Einstein taught us that mass and energy are equivalent though his famous formula: $E = mc^2$. Also, experiments showed us that light (photons, which have no mass (only energy) are influenced by gravity as they have their trajectories warped (mass-energy attraction). But does energy somehow attract energy? Does it somehow clump up in a form other than normal matter?

I was reading a book on General Relativity and wondered about the possibility of this idea.

Yes, energy is attracted to energy. The more energy that is collected in one area the more attraction there is. The best example of this is gravity from planetary bodies. The larger the planetary body, the greater the the gravity. Another good example of this would be electro-magnets. When you charge something that can store energy like a nail(or other small piece of metal), it becomes magnetic, because of the energy collected within it.
