Book Synopsis

"Christopher Moore is a very sick man, in the very best sense of the word."

--Carl Hiaasen

The undead rise again in Bite Me, the third book in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore's wonderfully twisted vampire saga. Joining his farcical gems Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, Moore's latest in continuing story of young, urban, nosferatu style love, is no Twilight--but rather a tsunami of the irresistible outrageousness that has earned him the appellation, "Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and a double-espresso imagination" from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and inspired Denver's Rocky Mountain News to declare him, "the 21st century's best satirist."

From the Back Cover

The city of San Francisco is being stalked by a huge shaved vampyre cat named Chet, and only I, Abby Normal, emergency back-up mistress of the great Bay Area night, and my mangahaired love monkey, Foo Dog, stand between the ravenous monster and a bloody massacre of the general public.

Whoa. And this is a love story? Yup. See, while some lovers were born to run, Jody and Tommy were born to bite. Well, reborn, that is, now that they're vampires. Good thing theirs is an undying love, since they're imprisoned in a bronze statue. Their Goth Girl Friday, Abby Normal, wants to be a bloodsucking fiend, too, but right now she's really busy with other stuff like Chet, who's getting bigger and smarter--and thirstier--by the minute.

Before you can say "OMG! WTF?" Tommy and Jody are sprung from captivity, and join forces with Abby and the entire crew to hunt big cat and save the city. And that's when the fun really begins.

Review Quotes

"If there's a funnier writer out there, step forward." - Playboy
"Moore's twisted take on the undead comes as a welcome respite from the recent spate of TV, film and book offerings to bombard us." - Edmonton Journal on BITE ME
"I can't emphasize enough how funny BITE ME is." - Bookreporter.com
"Moore carved a niche in the horror-comedy genre, and anyone with a fiendish sense of humor will love his writing." - Florida Times-Union on BITE ME
"Moore proves he has few rivals on the humour-opus front with this high-larious romp that just might have driven the final nail into old Nosferatu's coffin." - Ottawa Citizen on BITE ME
"The thinking man's Dave Barry or the impatient man's Tom Robbins, Moore takes cheap laughs where he can get them . . . over the last decade, he's learned how to merge them into speculative romps that skip merrily in and out of the realm of possibility without pausing to notice which side of the line they're on." - The Onion
Moore writes with the jittery energy of a brilliant, charming class clown, mixing sex and gore and a potty mouth with a goofy-sweet sensibility to deliver laughs on nearly every page." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Moore's storytelling style is reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams." - Philadelphia Inquirer
"Mr. Moore marches to his own little drummer boy. . . . He is seriously wicked about humor." - Janet Maslin, New York Times
"Moore's most hysterical 'love story' to date." - Booklist
"All [his] books exhibit the same marvelous virtues. Engaging, deftly limned protagonists whose human failings are always offset by surprising moral depths, heroes and villians alike. Zippy, jet-propelled plots whose parts are intricately connected and whose endings offer genuien surprises. Bright, clean, witty dialogue. Juicy descriptions, similes and metaphors in the hyperbolic mode. Vivid physical settings and cultural milieus, meticulously reported from first-hand experience. . . . And --finally but essentially--ingenious fantasy elements that are integral with the other components of the books, engines of action, not just add-ons." - Washington Post Book World
