As in his earlier novels, Moore weaves a touching story that is achingly funny and filled with characters both memorable and real. So begins the zany and wildly different love story that is at the heart of Bloodsucking Fiends, a romance novel like none you've ever read before, and a bloodcurdlingly funny vampire story about passion, bloodlust, and blood loss. Life (and the afterlife) will never be the same. Could things get any worse? One night Tommy meets the strikingly beautiful Jody on one of her nocturnal visits to the supermarket and gets the suprise of his life when the casual date they make to meet the next night (after sunset, of course) triggers the start of a relationship destined to span eternity. He's also sharing a crowded apartment with five Chinese men who want to marry him in order to keep from getting deproted.

Theres a nice crossover with the more intense 'A Dirty Job,' and The Emperor of San Fransisco (and his Royal Guard) have a prominent presence. Instead he ends up working at the local Safeway and playing frozen turkey bowling with the motley night crew. Jody and Tommy are a pair of newly made vampires struggling with being bloodsucking fiends without compromising their ethics or getting staked by their friends.

Thomas Flood (Tommy to his friends) has just arrived in San Francisco, full of dreams of becoming the next literary wunderkind. What she doesn't realize is that this is only the beginning.Ĭ. And one more thing-she has an insatiable thirst for blood. She feels awful, looks worse her clothes are torn, her sense of smell is suddenly as sharp as an animal's, she can see heat, and she has superhuman strength. When Jody wakes up in an alley, under a dupster, with a badly burned arm and a pain in her neck, she knows it isn't going to be one of her better days.

His blend of mythology and comedy leads every book of his down a rabbit hole of adventure and laughs. At last, a love story you can really sink your teeth into! With a psychedelic inventiveness that invites comparison with Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Robbins, Christopher Moore, the author of Coyote Blue, spins a hip tale of vampires on the loose and in love in San Francisco. Bloodsucking Fiends has it all Christopher Moore has got to be one of my all time favorite authors.
