Not your typical vampire book! But, it is your typical Christopher Moore book (if there is such a thing!). Humorous look at the world of vampires and night-shift grocers. I picked it up as it is a part of our Faculty Book Group's "Spooked" theme for our October discussion. It is the first in a series of books and I do think I am now interested enough in the characters to read the sequel, You Suck, and maybe even the third in the series, Bite Me. (Gotta love those titles!)

Review from Library Journal:
Tommy Flood, a teenaged Jack Kerouac wannabe, leaves his home in Indiana to search for his artistic muse and some adventure. What he finds is Jody, a beautiful redhead who has recently been transformed into a vampire and is trying to find a way to cope with her new "life." Together they go on a giddy romp of San Francisco, dealing with the occasional corpse, some suspicious cops, and a nasty old vampire. They also discover some surprising truths about morality, love, and the mechanics of vampirism along the way. A note to vampire fans: Anne Rice this isn't. Filled with oddball characters, clever dialog, and hilarious situations that are Moore's (Coyote Blue, LJ 1/94) trademarks, this delightful tale deserves a spot on all popular fiction shelves.
