Bite Me: a love story by Christopher Moore 309 pp.
Moore has once again used his satiric genius to set the vampire genre on its head. The yarn about vampires Jody & Tommy began with You Suck and continued with Bloodsucking Fiends. Jody & Tommy have been bronzed by their minion, goth girl Abby Normal whose scientist boyfriend Foo Dog is trying to discover a cure for vampirism. In the mean time Chet, the alley cat who was bitten by the old vampire, Elijah, in the previous book has grown huge and is turning all the cats in town into vampires who are killing people at random. Police officers, Rivera & Cavuto, are back on the job trying to find a way to defeat the vampire kitties with the help of The Animals, the night crew of the Safeway. Armed with an ancient Chinese recipe for vampire killing tea they stalk the cats with garden sprayers & Super-Soakers. The arrival of a mysterious ship brings a trio of ancient vampires intent on destroying all the other vampires. A guest appearance is made by Kona, the blonde Hawaiian surfer/faux Jamaican Rastafarian from Moore's book Fluke.
