Forever teenage vampire Agatha's favourite hunting ground is the brightly-lit interior of McDonald's. Flashing lots of flesh, she finds easy and willing prey; her preference is male virgins and so she dresses in the manner she thinks will most entice them, i.e. a little teenage tramp.I finished this story in one sitting; it's easy to read and very well written but I would have liked to learn more about Agatha and how she survived the past 300 years. There's also a lot of language, too much for my taste but I guess this does come (mostly) from the mind of a teenage boy Reggie. Some parts are also creepy, like Agatha's seduction of a teenage girl.This novella is well written, creepy in places and overall funny and entertaining. In a literary world filled with deep, brooding male vampires, Haines' tale was a welcome change.The best thing about My Take Away Vampire is that it made me laugh, which is always a good thing.Visit my blog Emma's Ramblings on Supernatural Fiction for the full review
