yendi8. You Suck: A Love Story, by Christopher Moore. This sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends is written with Moore's typical and wonderful sense of style. We get to revisit newly-turned vamp Tommy and his incredibly hot vampire girlfriend Jody, as well as the appearances by the other survivors of the first novel. We also get a slew of new characters, including a blue hooker, a 35-pound cat named Chet, and a goth girl who has abandoned her "daylight name" in favor of the name "Abby Normal." It's perfectly fun stuff, although I do recommend reading Bloodsucking Fiends first.. That said, You Suck lacks the depth of Moore's last few books, and folks expecting something as good as A Dirty Job or Lamb are likely to be a bit disappointed.
9. Blue Lonesome, by Bill Pronzoni. This is probably the best Pronzoni novel I've read to date. James Messenger is a lonely guy living a lonely existence in San Francisco as a CPA. He becomes fascinated with another woman who eats at the same restaurant he does, recognizing a fellow lonely person in her. When she commits suicide, his fascination only increases, and he tracks her down to a small Nevada town. His visit opens the floodgate for a number of small-town secrets, and leads to James slowly discovering as much about himself, and what he's capable of, as he does the rest of the town. Just a superb little novel.
