Bloodsucking Fiends

Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story is a novel by American writer Christopher Moore, published in 1995.

In 1995, a review in Library Journal said that while Bloodsucking Fiends was nothing like the works of Anne Rice, the "delightful tale" was "filled with oddball characters, clever dialog, and hilarious situations that are Moore's trademarks", recalling his novel Coyote Blue (1994).

[1] Jody, a young, single woman living in San Francisco, wakes up in a dumpster after being mugged and discovers she has been turned into a vampire.

[2] While attempting to adjust to her new nocturnal lifestyle, she finds the help of Tommy Flood, a wannabe writer who recently moved to the city and works as a night stocking manager (and champion "turkey bowler") at a local Safeway.

To get to the bottom of the matter, they recruit "the Animals", Tommy's crew of stockers from the supermarket, as well as an eccentric street person and his faithful dogs known as "The Emperor."
