This is the story of Reginald: a fat, out of shape, uncool, not particularly good-looking guy, who is an under-appreciated and over-harassed dweeb. After a terrible accident, a kindly vampire turns Reginald into one of the undead, in order to save his life.Unfortunately, the Vampire Rules are pretty clear: your body stays exactly as it was immediately before your undead life starts. That means Reginald is still fat, out of shape, uncool and not particularly good-looking.But, what almost everyone (living and undead) fails to see is that Reginald is honest, moral, intelligent, mature, humble, clever, kind, and brave. AND those admirable qualities start to grow in him, exponentially, ater his conversion to vampire. Physical powers? Not so much.How Reginald and his two companions (the misfit vampire who created him and the hot babe who sees Reginald's true worth), defend themselves against the buff, gorgeous, but none too smart, mainstream vampires is really hilarious. Even though the story is a pointed (ahem) allegory of how mainstream, conformist "haves" try to devalue and diminish "have-nots", it was still quite funny. I laughed out loud several times and chuckled even more. (No dreamy, sparkly, moody, gorgeous heroes, thank God!)I got the first 3 installments for free (I got lucky!) and then I got even luckier and got the 4th installment free, too. However, the whole Fat Vampire Value Meal is totally worth the price. Most highly recommended!
