In San Francisco a vampire gets his jollies by creating fledglings and watching them flounder about before destroying them. But one fledgling is different. Jody is clever, a fast learner even at being a vampire. She meets Tommy, an aspiring writer who earns money by working the night shift at a supermarket. Their relationship becomes a loving one, and that bodes ill for the creator-vampire lurking in the shadows. This tale is told with lots of humor and gives a witty look at modern day life in the city. |
