Book 30: "Fat White Vampire Blues" by Andrew Fox
Friday, April 6th, 2007 17:05When Jules Duchon was alive, people compared him to Rudolph Valentino, but after around 85 years living off the blood of the residents of the USA's fattest city, New Orleans, he now weighs 450 lb. Still living in the house where he was born and working nights as a taxi driver, Jules is a past master at keeping a low profile, but for some reason a vampire he has never met wants him dead, and Jules has to rely on old friends and new skills to keep him alive.
There are a lot of amusing moments in this book. In the trunk of his car, along with the jam jars to store the extra blood from his victims, Jules has a pile of newspapers ready to be taken for recycling - a vampire with a social conscience? He also grouses about all the black-clad teenage vampire wannabes attracted to the city by a certain Agatha Longrain's vampire novels!
