The Death Coach

Vampires revealed themselves to the world, and the party ended. They abandoned the old ways of nightmarish terror to embrace legal recognition, cheap blood from their local grocery stores, and the new drug Pacivamp that calmed their violence.

Gerard Martin, a French vampire undead for over two centuries, now finds himself wasting his nights in a distant suburb of Chicago, addicted to online games, afraid he may never make something of himself again. Determined to improve his life, he hires Steve Schiller, a self-proclaimed life coach for the undead. A death coach.

The Death Coach is story one of The Vampire Gerard, a series of shorts about a vampire learning to live in modern day America.
