Bite Me: A Love Story
by Christopher Moore
"The city of San
Francisco is being stalked by a huge shaved vampyre cat named Chet, and
only I, Abby Normal, emergency backup mistress of the Greater Bay Area
night, and my manga-haired love monkey, Foo Dog, stand between the
ravenous monster and a bloody massacre of the general public.
Whoa.
And this is a love story? Yup. 'Cept there's no whining. See, while
some lovers were born to run, Jody and Tommy were born to bite. Well,
reborn, that is, now that they're vampires. Good thing theirs is an
undying love, since their Goth Girl Friday, Abby Normal, imprisoned them
in a bronze statue.
Abby wants to be a bloodsucking fiend, too,
but right now she's really busy with other stuff, like breaking in a
pair of red vinyl thigh-high Skankenstein(R) platform boots and
wrangling her Ph.D.-candidate boyfriend, Steve (the love monkey). And
then there's that vampire cat Chet, who's getting bigger and
smarter--and thirstier--by the minute. Abby thought she and Steve could
handle the kitty cat on their own, "mais non" . . .
Before you
can say "OMG WTF?" Tommy and Jody are sprung from captivity, and join
forces with Abby, Steve, the frozen-turkey-bowling Safeway crew, the
Emperor of San Francisco and his trusty dogs Lazarus and Bummer, Abby's
gay Goth friend Jared, and SF's finest Cavuto and Rivera to hunt big cat
and save the city. And that's when the fun really begins."
