OMG! Christoper Moore is the GREATEST!!


Lookie lookie! Yesterday, I found one of my new favorite writers, Christopher Moore aka @TheAuthorGuy via twitter. I gave him the link to my Vampires Can Be Funny post for his two books Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck: A Love Story and he read it! He totally DM'd me and confirmed that there will be a continuing third book titled, Bite Me: A Love Story (which I knew but didn't want to post yet because there's no artwork for the cover) from the San Francisco Vampire Series. This book will be about Chet, the huge shaved cat. Guess what? He's a vampire cat now and he's menacing the streets of San Francisco! Whoa, vampire cat? That should be interesting! My favorite goth, Abby Normal also returns. Pre-order your copy NOW.

I highly suggest that you follow @TheAuthorGuy on twitter. If you've read all his books or if you're part of his cult following, check out his super funny blog!

Special thanks to my cuzzo, @larue823 for suggesting CM books!

Note to Chris Moore: Thanks for making amazingly hilarious books. I got started with the San Francisco Vampire Series and am currently reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal with A Dirty Job next on my book list. Your books are like CRACK and I can not stop reading them. Thanks for DM'ing me. This gesture really put a smile on my face and I can see that you value your readers. Promise that I will be going through all the books that you have written and will be reading them all. Can't wait until April, I MUST pre-order! Thanks for making my day! :)

Vampires Can Be Funny!


Want to take a break from reading the Twilight Saga and Southern Vampire Mystery: Sookie Stackhouse Series books? Need a new vampire book that's different? Are you looking for a good vampy laugh?! I got the right book just for you. ;) Read these two funny ass books from Christopher Moore titled Bloodsucking Fiends and the follow-up book You Suck: A Love Story. Basically the first book is about an aspiring writer, Thomas C. Flood who moves to San Francisco to pursue his dreams and to find the perfect girl. Instead he ends up working the grave yard shift at a local supermarket and meets a thirsty redhead baby vamp (No, not Jessica Hamby from TrueBlood.. hehe) named Jody. Jody uses Tommy as her 'minion' while adjusting to her new vampire lifestyle. They go through crazy adventures trying to dodge Jody's maker, Elijah. Then for the continuing book, Flood wakes up and discovers that he was turned by Jody and it wasn't by choice! He calls her a "bitch" and then their new adventures start all over again. It's pretty hilarzz but I don't want to spoil it and all I have to say is I laughed alot. If you do end up reading it, my favorite character is Abby Normal (from the 2nd book) a 16 year old goth. Read and you'll find out why! Two thumbs up to Christopher Moore for writing these hilarious books! :)

Buy Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck: A Love Story from amazon.com!

A Vampire's Meal!

Yesterday was a pretty long day at work. So on my way home (I go through Bayridge in Brooklyn), I did dinner and a book at one of my favorite Japanese restaurants, Omiya. I wanted to try something new instead of the usual (Spicy Tuna & Ginza Roll) so while browsing the menu- I got super excited when I saw that they were offering a dish called "Vampire Bowl". Could this be any more perfect since I'm reading Christopher Moore's funny vampire novel called Bloodsucking Fiends?! What a great way to tie my vampire theme together! Anyway- the Vampire Bowl is basically Spicy Tuna Tar Tar (MY FAVE!!) rolled in a ball and stuffed in an avocado bowl on a bed of salad with house special sauce. Their Spicy Tuna Tar Tar is amazingly different because it's mixed with crunchies and it totally adds a whole new texture. The house special sauce drizzled on the plate is creamy yet sweet. You can't go wrong with this meal for $9.95!
