Product Description
After morphing into 187 very large white rats in the name of self-preservation, Jules Duchon is back to his portly self, a member of that secret class of New Orleans citizens known as the undead. Though he would like nothing better than to spend his nights raising hell and biting flesh in his beloved French Quarter, duty calls when an exclusive club of blue blood vampires demands that the 450-pound cabbie find out who is attacking its young and beautiful members. Adding insult to injury, he has to enlist the help of a former foe: a black vampire named Preston.
What’s a vampire to do? Without the love of a woman to ease his pain, Jules isn’t convinced that his undead life is worth living. He doesn’t desire Doodlebug (she may be a woman now but Jules knew her back when she was just a boy) any more than he longs for Daphne, a rat catcher who nourishes a crush the size of Jules. No, only Maureen will do. Once a beautiful stripper with nothing but curve after curve to her bodacious body, now she is mere dust in a jar. But Jules will move heaven and earth to get her back . . . even if it means pulling her back from the dead.

thedivineoomba (USA: MN) (2010/07/10):
The first 7/8ths of this book is lovely, you get a great mix of vampire, detective story, and humor. Its not quite like any other book with vampires I've ever read. As other reviewers have mentioned, it really is as if you mixed "A Confederacy of Dunces" with Dracula, only Jules is a nice guy. But, I really did not like the last part of the book- all of sudden, all sorts of people popped in, unexpectadly, with the main character changing from an independant bumbling, but likeable sort to a pathetic fat guy.
