Synopsis
DOUG
LEE is undead quite by accident—attacked by a desperate vampire, he finds
himself cursed with being fat and fifteen forever. When he has no luck finding
some Goth chick with a vampire fetish, he resorts to sucking the blood of cows
under cover of the night. But it’s just not the same.
Then
he meets the new Indian exchange student and falls for her—hard. Yeah, he wants
to bite her, but he also wants to prove himself to her. But like the laws of
life, love, and high school, the laws of vampire existence are complicated—it’s
not as easy as studying Dracula.
Especially when the star of Vampire
Hunters is hot on your trail in an attempt to boost ratings....
Searing,
hilarious, and always unexpected, FAT VAMPIRE is
a satirical tour de force from one of the most original writers of fiction
today.
