Publisher Description
“Christopher Moore is a very sick man, in the very best sense of the word.”
—Carl Hiaasen
The undead rise again in Bite Me, the third book in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore’s wonderfully twisted vampire saga. Joining his farcical gems Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, Moore’s latest in continuing story of young, urban, nosferatu style love, is no Twilight—but rather a tsunami of the irresistible outrageousness that has earned him the appellation, “Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and a double-espresso imagination” from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and inspired Denver’s Rocky Mountain News to declare him, “the 21st century’s best satirist.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A vampire cat is stalking San Francisco in Moore s serviceable latest comic horror adventure (after You Suck), and the only humans who can take him down are goth girl Abby Normal and her brainiac boyfriend, Stephen Foo Dog Wong. They, in turn, call upon Abby s masters, vampiric lovers Jody and Tommy, who were on the verge of breaking up until Abby decided to bronze them posed as Rodin s The Kiss. Also in pursuit of the vampire cat and his minions are the Animals, the night stock crew at the Marina Safeway who hunt vampires in their spare time; a lunatic homeless man who calls himself the Emperor of San Francisco ; a Japanese printmaker who wields a mean sword; and homicide detectives Rivera and Cavuto. Things become even more complicated with the arrival of three ancient vampires intent on getting some payback. The narrative could use trimming, and much of the humor seems recycled from Moore s previous vampire tomes, though this won t matter to the legions of fans who crave Moore s trademark low horror and high camp.
Customer Reviews
You've done it again Christopher Moore
I've been an avid Moore fanatic for years, and Bite Me was without a doubt one of his best. It's good to see the Bloodsucking Fiends trilogy get sent off with such an amazing finale.
5/5 stars
Loved it!
This book is super entertaining; I absolutely LOVE "Abby"!
Once again, a hit
If you've not read any of his books, you're missing out on true treasure in any of Christopher Moore's books. Definitely quirky, oddball and zany each story has enough believability and humanity to make you care about not only his characters but yourself as well.
"Bite Me" is the third installment in the slacker(s)-turn-vampire-turn-heros-turn-villians-turn ...
Once again Moore has a hit and more importantly a great story on the shelves.
Buy this (and all his other books) right now. You will not be disappointed!
