Imagine a 364-year-old vampire who also happens to be an accountant. Born in England in the 1600s, he now resides in New York City. Things are going as well as could be expected. Until Mildred Frapworth enters his life. Then there’s the mad scientist, Rodney Fudd, and his assistant Farquar Snotlop. These are only some of the outrageous characters that come to life...or unlife, as the case may be, in this outrageously entertaining novel. There are vampires and werewolves and demons. Toss in a fat detective and a skinny secret agent, and you’ve got a mix of fun, fear, and frolic. Oh, and don’t forget the alien.
