Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product 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.
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.
Amazon.com:
Here's something different: a vampire novel that's light, funny, and not at all hackneyed. Between scenes of punks bowling frozen turkeys on the graveyard shift in a supermarket, or snapping turtles loose in a loft and gnawing on designer shoes, this novel has comic charm to spare. But it also packs an appealingly downbeat message about the consumer culture: Becoming a vampire has given the twentysomething heroine 'a crampless case of rattlesnake PMS'--a grumpy mood in which she realizes that she can dress to the nines as a 'Donner Party Barbie' and still end up disillusioned and unhappy, just another slacker doing her own laundry and watching sucky TV 'til the sun rises.

It's been awhile since a great vampire story has come along... Moore has really gone in a brand new direction with this one. Gone are all the vampire myths that we all know. But what makes this great is Tommy. Here's this semi-normal guy who knows the fictitious stories of vampires as well, and he now gets to compare notes with the real deal. Truly funny and original. Really loved the story.

This is not a romance novel. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that guys might not like this as much as gals. It is about a quirky, interesting vampire/human relationship. Jody gets turned into vampire. She needs a male helper who can run errands for her during the day. She meets Tommy a night worker at Safeway stores. Tommy says a lot of funny things. It's a fun relationship between Tommy as a human and Jody as a vampire.
Sexual content: not evaluated, but as I recall there was some sex. Setting: current day California. Copyright: 1995. Genre: humorous, contemporary, paranormal fiction.

I know it makes me sound like a rube, but the only reason I heard of Christopher Moore is because I grabbed this book at Costco. I had no idea what to expect, but really enjoyed it. I have never been a big fan of the vampire genre, but this book seems to transcend it. Ironically, this is the second vampire book (the other being Already Dead by Charlie Huston) I have read in less than a month, after reading maybe one other in my entire life.
Bloodsucking Fiends is clever, funny, sexy, and light, and all written with an almost sing-song tone. I flew through this book, and would recommend it to anyone looking to suspend disbelief and go for a fun ride. I will read more of Moore.

My very first Christopher Moore book, and my favorite still. Will make you LOL! After this read Fluke and Lamb, they are fantastic too. You Suck was good, I just finished The lust lizard of melancholy cove, it was not Mr. Moore's best work, I'd avoid that one. Next on the list Practical Demon keeping and I'm hoping for another winner!
