I also liked the Emperor of San Francisco and his two dogs (or his men as he calls them). However, it looks like the vampires, especially the vampire cats, might win out.One of the cutest bits involves the Chinese grandmother who passes on her recipe for vampire fighting tea. There is also a Japanese print maker who manages to kill some with a sword. Foo has developed a way to reverse the vampirism and also has invented some jackets with LED lights that will kill them. The resulting plague of vampires is sweeping through San Francisco and two homicide cops, Rivera and Cavuto, are trying to contain it. The old vampire created more vampires, including a homeless guy's cat, before being rescued and removed by some of his coherts. Jody then turned Tommy and they fell in love. (Incidentally, Foo seems like a really smart guy but he was not thinking with his brain when he hooked up with Abby.) Jody was made a vampire by a really old vampire who sailed into the San Francisco harbour on his yacht. Abby is a minion to two vampires, Jody and Tommy, and she has a boyfriend, Foo, who is working on his master's degree in biochemistry. The fact that she is a teenager in California with a goth persona is revealed by her sentence structure which is full of 'like' 'all' 'whatever' ''Kayso' etc.

It is told from the point of view of a number of people but the chief protagonist calls herself Abby Normal and her part of the story is told in the first person. However, it is still about vampires and not my cup of tea.The story is set in San Francisco. Bite Me delivers a few chuckles certainly. I am not a fan of vampire fiction but I thought a book by Christopher Moore would probably be funny at least.
