What makes it funny?

Tommy turns to The Vampire Lestat for practical advice about Jody. His ambitions as a writer also have to coexist with a supermarket crew's frozen-turkey bowling.

The comedy at work

Jody's new powers don't remove her insecurities, and falling in love doesn't make the couple's schedules compatible. Moore gets farce from the ordinary negotiations of a new relationship conducted under vampire rules.

Try this if…

Vampire courtship, slapstick and a murder puzzle share the space here. It suits a taste for supernatural trouble with plenty of romantic embarrassment.

Good to know

Sex and blood-drained bodies are part of the story. The comic tone accompanies a romance with lethal complications.
