Also in this series: * Bloodsucking Fiends * You Suck * Bite Me

Bite Me is told from the point of view of Abigail -- the scary little Goth girl who was the minion of Vampire Flood. The story is told as entries into Abby's blog: "Being the Journal of Abigail Von Normal, Emergency Backup Mistress of the Greater Bay Area Night." If that doesn't set you up as to what to expect, nothing else will either.

There's a severe problem in San Francisco, Chet the vampire cat, is turning all the cats in the city to vampires and they're preying on those who are out at night -- mostly the homeless and the sick, but once they drain a meter maid, the problem can't be ignored by the police. So, the only two police officers who know about vampires manage to snag the case for themselves, but they insist on sending Abby home to her mother and sister.

Abby's brilliant biologist boyfriend, Foo, has to find a way to cure the cats and free the city from their terror. But with Abby gone her best friend, Jared, steps in to assist. One thing leads to another and Jody, Flood, The Emperor and his dogs, the Animals, a Samurai/Artist/Swordman, and assorted rats, cats, vampire enforcers, and a Chinese grandmother with a killer vampire recipe.

While you might not know where Christopher Moore will take you in his story, you do know that the reading of it will be laugh out loud funny, entertaining, and in parts sad and thought provoking. If you've liked his other works, you'll love this one. If you've never read his work, give this a try or start off with You Suck, the book that introduced these characters.
