![]() ![]() With the help of pert vampire-wannabe Amanda Simon, the eight-year-old reincarnation of his greatest foe and a cadre of ancient and ugly horrors, Yulric prepares to battle the glamorous undead. Determined to reestablish his bloodstained reign, Yulric sets out to correct this disgusting turn of events or, at the very least, murder the person responsible. A humorous vampire story for readers who are tired of the attractive, good vampires of the past decade or so. Ill also second on Christopher Moore, but encourage you to check out his other books, lots of horror tinged comedy. ![]() ![]() Apparently he's just too ugly-modern vampires, he soon discovers, are pretty, weak, and, most disturbing of all, good. Two I thought were similar were Fat White Vampire Blues by Andrew Fox and An Unattractive Vampire by Jim McDoniel. After three centuries trapped underground, thousand-year-old Yulric Bile-also known as the Cursed One, the Devil's Apprentice, He Who Worships the Slumbering Horrors-awakens only to find that no one believes he is a vampire. "Jim McDoniel's first novel is quirky, wild, and weird, and definitely for those who hate those "sexy" vampire stereotypes - who like their monsters nice and gross." -Geeks of Doom Jim McDoniel's debut novel, An Unattractive Vampire, is a darkly comic urban fantasy of ancient horrors in suburban cities. ![]()
