Review: Bride of the Fat White Vampire

Jules Duchon, our hero, was once a 450 pound pale white cab-driving vampire. Now he is a collection of 187 pale white rats scavenging for food in the alleys of New Orleans. His friend Doodlebug, who was once a twelve year old boy vampire, and is now a twenty-something female vampire, rounds up the rats, cages them, and magically transforms them back to Jules’ original portly glory. Unfortunately, Doodlebug only managed to collect 186 rats.

And Jules’ day only goes downhill from there.

In the heart of New Orleans some skillful and dangerous fanatic is dissecting the young attractive female members of the High Krewe, an old and elite sect of vampires. The High Krewe hires Jules to hunt down the culprit and find the, um, well, the missing body parts. Or else.

The Good: I love stories about misfits, and this story is nothing but. Fat strippers, transvestite vampires, black vampires from Orleans dressed like the members of Queen. How could I not like it?

This is a book that was written to be a fun read. The situations Jules finds himself in are outrageous, the dialogue is bang on. The plot is involving… whatever other adjectives I can throw in to show my support, consider them thrown.
