<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this <i>True Blood</i> meets <i>O Brother, Where Art Thou?</i> odyssean tale, vampyr Yulric Bile will do anything to be a villain in a world where vampires are heroes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Jim McDoniel's first novel is quirky, wild, and weird, and definitely for those who hate those "sexy" vampire stereotypes - who like their monsters nice and gross." <b>--Geeks of Doom</b> <p/> Jim McDoniel's debut novel, <i>An Unattractive Vampire</i>, is a darkly comic urban fantasy of ancient horrors in suburban cities. After three centuries trapped underground, thousand-year-old Yulric Bile--also known as the Curséd One, the Devil's Apprentice, He Who Worships the Slumbering Horrors--awakens only to find that no one believes he is a vampire. Apparently he's just too ugly--modern vampires, he soon discovers, are pretty, weak, and, most disturbing of all, good. Determined to reestablish his bloodstained reign, Yulric sets out to correct this disgusting turn of events or, at the very least, murder the person responsible. With the help of pert vampire-wannabe Amanda; Simon, the eight-year-old reincarnation of his greatest foe; and a cadre of ancient and ugly horrors, Yulric prepares to battle the glamorous undead. But who will win the right to determine, once and for all, what it truly means to be a vampire?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Witty debut...Engagingly complex characters and wry humor will keep readers coming back for more." <b>-- Publishers Weekly</b> <p/> "Jim McDoniel's first novel is quirky, wild, and weird, and definitely for those who hate those "sexy" vampire stereotypes - who like their monsters nice and gross." <b>--Geeks of Doom</b> <p/> "I wouldn't be surprised if someone eventually makes a movie about this book. Yes, it's that entertaining." <b>-- Dread Central</b> <p/> "<i>An Unattractive Vampire</i> is a humorous homage to all kinds of vampirism in pop culture, littered with references to TV shows, movies, and books...But <i>Unattractive</i> doesn't hold back when it comes to dark humor. In addition to a lot of violence and nihilistic critiques, it finds ways to comment on the hypocrisies of our own culture." <b>-- Steve Pattee, Horror Talk</b> <p/> "In much the same vein (Pun intended!) as <i>What We Do in the Shadows</i>, Jim McDoniel's <i>An Unattractive Vampire</i> is a perfect book to take to the a sun-soaked, vampyre-free beach for a nice, relaxing day of reading...with not one sparkly vampire in sight." <b>-- Claire Fallon, Fanbase Press</b> <p/> "An Unattractive Vampire is an incredibly unique story and a breath of fresh air for fans of vampire fiction." <b>-- Examiner.com</b> <p/> "A darned good read...finished it in one sitting. Charming characters I'd love to visit again." <b>-- Lynsay Sands, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author of <i>The Argeneau</i> series</b> <p/> "Thought vampires were dead? Well of course they are, but Jim McDoniel proves that don't have to be boring. Or sparkly." <b>-- Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt, <i>Sword & Laser</i></b><br>
