Synopses & Reviews
You bitch, you killed me. You suck!
Being dead sucks. Make that being undead sucks.
Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody the woman of his dreams is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too.
For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to learn on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, someone has to run errands during daylight hours!)
Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new members into the club. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue.
And that really sucks.
Review
"[A] fitfully entertaining...sequel to his 1995 romp, Bloodsucking Fiends....Moore handles its goofier-than-thou plot adroitly....Think of a collaboration among Anne Rice, S.J. Perelman, and Pedro Almodóvar." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"Happy endings for pretty much everybody conclude Moore's hilarious mockery of the pursuit of the appetites." Booklist
Review
"Because You Suck vacillates between goth gags and actual blood-guzzling, it ought to be a tricky balancing act for Mr. Moore. But he glides comfortably through the book's loony little corner of San Francisco and through drastic changes of mood." Janet Maslin, New York Times
Review
"It's fun, funny and just a little gross what more could anyone ask?...There are pretenders, but Moore is the only author who has mastered the combination of horror and humor, doing for horror what Carl Hiaasen does for crime novels." Rocky Mountain News
Review
"You Suck is the literary equivalent of a Marx Brothers film: If readers don't go into it expecting great revelations and remember to say the magic words (it's OK to read for fun), they'll finish this offering with a smile on their faces..." Denver Post
Review
"It's literature for the YouTube generation: easily digestible, frequently funny and rigorously insubstantial. Still, there's a sweetness to Moore's writing that helps get you (and his characters) through the night." Dallas-Ft. Worth Star Telegram
