Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore, 290 pages


My daughter has raved about this vampire book for ages, until my husband finally picked it up. He laughed out loud, stayed up too late reading it, and immediately started book two when he finished this. With that kind of rave, how could I not pick it up. I have always enjoyed Moore's odd sense of humor, and this was just as good as his others.
Jody never gave any thought to being a vampire because she never thought they existed. That is, until she is attacked one night and wakes up under a dumpster with a burnt hand, super human strength and a thirst for blood. Jody must figure out how to spend eternity. Tommy moved to San Francisco from Indiana determined to be the next great writer. Jody and Tommy quickly come together, but forces are determined to pull them apart. Throw in an Emperor of San Francisco and his loyal subjects, turkey bowling Animals, a bored vampire, and cops intent on solving murders, and you have one of the funniest vampire books of all time.
