Book Description

Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching neck, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her.

Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching neck, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her.

Making the transition from the nine-to-five grind to an eternity of nocturnal prowlings is going to take some doing, however, and that's where C. Thomas Flood fits in. A would-be Kerouac from Incontinence, Indiana, Tommy (to his friends) is biding his time night-clerking and frozen-turkey bowling in a San Francisco Safeway. But all that changes when a beautiful undead redhead walks through the door ... and proceeds to rock Tommy's life -- and afterlife -- in ways he never imagined possible.

    Early in his career, Christopher Moore staked out his territory. Literally. 'Bloodsucking Fiends' is a contemporary romantic comedy about vampires set in San Francisco. It's a slim novel, a fast read and very funny. Moore plays with the reality of th ... (read full critics)

  • Bloodsucking Fiends

    Desert Isle Keeper Review Bloodsucking Fiends Christopher Moore is one of the hippest, funniest voices in popular fiction, and Bloodsucking Fiends is my favorite of his books. Jody, an ordinary insurance clerk in San Francisco, is attacked and turned ... (read full critics)

    "The vampire let go of Jody's arm, reached across to put his hand on Hair Plugs's shoulder, and
    held him fast to his seat. The drunk's eyes went wide. The vampire smiled.
    'She'll rip out your throat and drink your blood as you die. Is that what you want?'

    'She'll rip out your throat and drink your blood as you die. Is that what you want?'
    Hair Plugs shook his head violently. 'No, I already have an ex-wife.'"

    Tommy swallowed hard. 'You're not going to believe me. It's a pretty fantastic story. There's supernatural stuff involved.'
    Rivera rubbed his temples. 'Satan told you to do it?' he said wearily.
    'No.'
    'Elvis?'
    'I told you, it's supernatural.'
    'Tommy, I'm going to tell you something I've never told anyone before. If you repeat it, I'll deny I said it. Five years ago I saw a white owl with a seventy-foot wingspan swoop out of the sky and pluck a demon off a hillside and take off into the sky.'
    'I heard that cops get the best drugs,' Tommy said."

  • Cute, but ultimately forgettable vampire mystery. I'm told this is not Moore's best, either.
