  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Life sucks for Dave Marshall.  &lt;br&gt;The girl he's in love with doesn't know he exists, he hates his job, and ever since his boss turned him into a vampire, he can't go out in daylight without starting to charbroil.&lt;br&gt;Undead life in its uncoolest incarnation yet is on display in this cinematic, supernatural drama told with gallons of humor and hemoglobin. In striking, colorful, B-movie style artwork and light-hearted, intelligent writing by Jessica Abel, Gabe Soria, and Warren Pleece, Dave Marshall's story comes alive; in a vampiric kind of way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>

I will say that I felt the story could have been shorter, and I didn't much care for the conflict between Dave and Wesley.

    <body><![CDATA[Like other vampire books on the market these days, this book turns the traditional image of vampires on its head.  The main character is a vampire, but he's something of a loser who is poor and bound to work for his vampire master in his convenience store on the night shift.
