Bloodsucking Fiends, by Christopher Moore,
is on sale at Amazon for $1.99. This was the book that got me into Moore's work. It's a very, very funny vampire story, if that isn't too much of an oxymoron.
Moore's books don't go on sale very often, so if you've been curious to check him out this is a good entry point.
(this was also getting posted in the science fiction thread.)
Quote:
Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching back, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her.
Making the transition from the nine-to-five grind to an eternity of nocturnal prowlings is going to take some doing, however, and that's where C. Thomas Flood fits in. A would-be Kerouac from Incontinence, Indiana, Tommy (to his friends) is biding his time night-clerking and frozen-turkey bowling in a San Francisco Safeway. But all that changes when a beautiful undead redhead walks through the door...and proceeds to rock Tommy's life—and afterlife—in ways he never thought possible.
