"Christopher Moore spins a hip tale of vampires on the loose and in love in San Francisco." "When Jody wakes up in an alley, under a dumpster, with a badly burned arm and a pain in her neck, she knows it isn't going to be one of her better days. She feels awful, looks worse; her clothes are torn, her sense of smell is suddenly as sharp as an animal's, she can see heat, and she has super-human strength. And one more thing - she has an insatiable thirst for blood. What she doesn't realize is that this is only the beginning...." "C. Thomas Flood (Tommy to his friends) has just arrived in San Francisco, full of dreams of becoming the next literary wunderkind. Instead he ends up working at the local Safeway and playing frozen turkey bowling with the motley night crew. He's also sharing a crowded apartment with five Chinese men who want to marry him in order to keep from getting deported. Could things get any worse? One night Tommy meets the strikingly beautiful Jody on one of her nocturnal visits to the supermarket and gets the surprise of his life when the casual date they make to meet the next night (after sunset, of course) triggers the start of a relationship destined to span eternity. Life (and the afterlife) will never be the same...."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
