A vampire with a comb over and a werewolf with a beer gut walk into an all night diner… that is promptly attacked by zombies - and that‘s the least of their troubles.

Read this via the internet archive - horror fantasy isn‘t my usual jam - but I enjoyed this - evil tentacles under the fridge and friendly ghosts in the graveyard included!

"In Rockwood? Aber wir haben nicht mal ein Kino!"
"So funktioniert das normalerweise. Leute, die was zu tun haben, verpflichten sich im Allgemeinen nicht bei den Lakaien der Finsternis. Eher sind es die Leute mit viel Zeit zum Totschlagen, vor denen man sich hüten muss."

So wahr.

Was mich als Biologin immer sehr stört: wenn die Eckzähne als Reißzähne bezeichnet werden - das ist nämlich falsch! Auch #ALeeMartinez begeht den gleichen Fehler 🙄 Oder ist das ein Fehler, der sich bei der Übersetzung einschleicht? Auf jeden Fall hält er sich sehr hartnäckig ... Vampir oder Werwolf Bücher mit richtiger Ausdrucksweise kann man vermutlich an einer Hand abzählen 😒

4⭐ This book was wacky, weird and funny! A great first pick for me to start off #Scarathlon with. This also fills a few #ScaryScavengerHunt prompts for me: 1. With #zombies in it, 2. That's over 200 pages and 3. Where a character dies

+2pts for movie and +1 pt for post for #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid
#screamathon

(Pts total=9)

BeansPage Sweetie I have you down as having 9 points total so far. When we are scoring we are counting the posts. So for this example you would get 2 points for the book under your team theme and 1pt for the post that you made 5y
eri.reads Oh cool, thank you! 😍 5y

Envisioning Loretta like.... #gilsallfrightdiner

GarthRanzz Mimi! Give a guy a warning! LOL Now I want to check out the book just to see the character. 7y
littlebeesreads @GarthRanzz it‘s so funny! You should. It‘s very descriptive and she‘s all I can think about with the character! 7y
littlebeesreads @GarthRanzz here‘s one description: “the kitchen doors swung open, and a tall, plump woman lurched into the front. She wore a T-shirt and jean cutoffs that hugged her jiggling behind, but only barely. Cellulite rolled down her legs in flapping waves with each step. A soiled apron stretched across her immense breasts. Her hair frazzled bleach blonde mess, slung to the left of her face and just past her shoulders” 7y

littlebeesreads There are other sections that talk about her makeup 😂 7y
GarthRanzz Just stacked it! I need to read that! 7y
littlebeesreads @GarthRanzz good luck!! Amazon has it every now and then. It‘s a collectible 7y
littlebeesreads Took me months to get a copy and my mom got it on her first try lol 7y
GarthRanzz If I can‘t I know I cam usually find an ebook version somewhere. 😉 7y

Enjoyable horror comedy. Zombie cows, a werewolf with a beer gut, a balding vampire, and a coming apocalypse... will we survive? One caveat: I was not a fan of the treatment of Loretta's weight.

Mehso-so

This is a spooky fun read about a vampire and werewolf who agree to help a diner and it's zombie problem. Sounds easy? Ehh not so much. Funny novel that is definitely unique with interesting characters. The writing isn't spectacular but it did keep my attention/

Picked these up at the local Friends of the Library Fall Sale. I'd say that's a $2.25 well spent!

I would read another story with Earl and Duke. Clearly saving the world once was not enough. Quick, fun read that felt like it was channeling Joss Whedon and his Buffyverse, with a small side of Douglas Adams. It's a great October read with a vampire, werewolf, ghost, and a gate to Hell. It is more funny than scary so that should help those out wanting to take part in October spooky readings without peeing their pants from fear. Laughter, maybe.

SusanInTiburon Good review! I'm not into straight-up horror this month, but this sounds like a fun seasonal selection. 8y
jpmcwisemorgan @SusanInTiburon It's more paranormal than horror. I think that if a person can watch an episode of Buffy, they can read this book. There's a lot of humor in it and it's not particularly scary. It should be a good choice for people who want to read something fitting for the season but not be freaked out. 8y
rubyslippersreads This sounds like about the right level of scariness for me. 🐥🐥🐥😄 8y

Rockwood = Sunnydale, with the gates of Hell under a diner instead of the high school. If you're a Buffy fan, you just might enjoy this one.

Eyelit Already added it to my later list on the library site 😁 8y
jpmcwisemorgan @Eyelit I'll be returning my copy to the library Monday so other people can enjoy it sooner rather than later. 8y
Eyelit Yay! Maybe by midweek I'll have a hold come in so I can request this. 😄 I'm so glad APL now has the option of the for later list. It's so helpful!! 8y

I started this one the other night and then realized that I had a different library book that was due soon. However, time travel wasn't doing it for me so I renewed it and now I'm back to this one. So far it has a bit of a Douglas Adams vibe with the way it's written. I'm not very far in but I'm enjoying it. I'm starting October early!
