Bride of the Fat White Vampire by Andrew Fox Buy book: $10.02
In the hilarious follow-up to Fox's debut novel, "Fat White Vampire Blues," Jules Duchon is back to investigate the mysterious serial killings of vampires in New Orleans.
I love the book so far. I think the writing style is great; it also helps that I "like" rats. Although I may have to check out the first book before I continue with this one.
Definitely entertaining. :) I really liked the part about the rat dancing a victory jig.
I think this will be an interesting read. I like vampire stories and this one seems like it's going to be a good one. The ones based in New Orleans always seem to be a bit better than ones located elsewhere. Looking forward to the rest of this week's read.

The hapless man, who feels the book-disease..."

I hate rats with a Passion. Hailing from the City of Lights (NYC) anyone can understand why. (Oh, yeah....I hate "city chickens" as well). However, after reading the funny and humorous part about the rat doing the jig, maybe my hate has turned into a strong dislike.
Vampires and Rats ... WOW.
Running over to the bookstore this afternoon to pick up Fat White Vampire Blues
while awaiting the next installment of the Bride.
The story just didn't capture my attention. I love horror stories and most of my books are horror but this book just didn't seem like it was going to get any better
What can I say about this novel that won't sound like hyperbole? I was indroduced to you by Chris Schluep last year over drinks during the San Diego Comic-Con. It has taken this bookclub to remind me that I needed to read your work. You're descriptions are so lush, the world of your vampires is so fully realized. You avoid sounding like an Anne Rice rip-off and create a world as uniquely original as Poppy Bright's New Orleans in "Lost Souls." I read your prose and am reminded of the rich, frangrant rue concocted by James Lee Burke. The shift in perspectives from half-remembered rat-vampire to transsexual vampire in the court of vampire royals is so beautifully done. The seasoning of humor in the jambalaya of darkness and baroque decadence is that of a master chef. I can't adequately describe how impressed I am with your writing. I wish you a hundred times more recognition with the reading public--you deserve it.
What I read was very interesting. I enjoy horror stories a great deal, and I could not wait until the next day to read a new section. While this book has captured my interest, I think I'll have to read the first Fat White Vampire book before I can really get into this one.
This book did grab my attention. I found it to be quite entertaining.
I checked my local library and found that it did not have a copy of this book. A little disappointed, I decided that I'd go to the bookstore to find it - it wasn't there either.
Unless I want to special order it, it just doesn't seem to be available to me. :(
