Description

Vampiring is hard.

Things Bob has on his checklist when he accidentally becomes a vampire: a) forget everything he knows about vampires; b) don't get brutally murdered by vampires.

Apparently, there are vampire LAWS, and Bob, a young, romantically challenged black man living in Toronto, never got the guidebook. Even though it's not his fault that he's broken every rule, a secret vampire society is hellbent on giving him a more permanent death. With the help of his best pal, Claude, Bob tries to stay alive and hopefully turn around his screwed-up existence in the process.

Advance Praise

"...the plot is amazing, and what makes it even more interesting is that it's so character-driven it hurts, in a very good way. It works: write amazing characters, and you'll have me hooked forever." - Val on the Moon, Reedsy 


"Bob's narrative voice is strong and powerful and is very liberal about providing extra context. The comedy is brilliantly on-point without being staged." - Gordon Piper, author of The Dragon Chase

This was an amazing one sitting read. Laugh out loud funny and could be the next cult classic. Bob is a screwup. He's lovable and honest, a bit of a stalker too. One night things gets out of hand.

What follows is Bob's tale of events. Thankfully this is book 1. Can't wait for book 2.

It's a darkly fun story that I was able to read through very quickly. I'd have preferred that the cliffhanger be more abstract than ending mid-scene, but it certainly leaves you wanting to pick up the next installment.

A good guy, in a dubious world of drugs and porn, suddenly discovers a new spin on death and has to navigate his new normal. An entertaining mix of humour and horror with a more than generous smattering of profanity.
