10-25-09 Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore – Fiction

5 – I have found that my favorite books by Moore are his San Francisco stories and his Pine Cove stories.  The characters are lovably quirky and even though the stories are about separate people they always pull the familiar characters in and end up crossing each other somewhere along the way.  This is a San Francisco story.  I actually read the sequel to this, You Suck: A Love Story, first and figured I should read this one to get the back story.  And boy, this is just as funny.  One night, Jody is made into a vampire as she’s hurrying to catch the bus after work.  But her maker doesn’t stick around to giver her any instructions so she has to blunder through learning how to deal with her new status by herself.  Then bodies start to pile up and everyone starts looking for a vampire.  She has to trust her new boyfriend, who’s human, to help her avoid the cops and the Emperor of San Francisco while she tries to find the vampire responsible.  A very fun and funny romp.
