Right now this set is on a 99c promo sale and that's a real deal. The idea is simple and stupid: Reginald is a fat, beat up by the world Charlie Brown type. He makes friends with a kid in IT, who turns out to be a vampire and make Reginald into a vampire to save his life. Now, he's stuck for all eternity as a weak, bloated vampire who can't feed on humans unless they are pizza delivery guys.The book is ripe for slapstick, but Truant doesn't do that. He treats his characters with respect. He treats the story with respect. He also manages to have a lot of fun with it. Fat Vampire isn't a comedy, but it does have A LOT of humor.There are two more books in the series and you'll want to get those, too. The series has a very cool, very satisfying conclusion.
