Death Has a Brand New Appetite...
When overweight treadmill salesman Reginald Baskin finally meets a co-worker who doesn't make fun of him, it's his own bad luck that tech guy Maurice turns out to be a two-thousand-year-old vampire.
And when Maurice turns Reginald to save his life, it's just Reginald's further bad luck that he wakes to discover he's become the slowest, weakest, most out-of-shape vampire ever created ... doomed to "heal" to his corpulent self for all of eternity.
But as Reginald struggles with the downsides of being a fat vampire (too slow to catch people to feed on, mocked by those he tries to glamour, assaulted by his intended prey, and left for undead), he discovers rare powers in himself that few vampires have ... and just in time, because the Vampire Council wants him destroyed as an inferior representative of their race.
Fat Vampire is the story of an unlikely hero who, after having an imperfect eternity shoved into his grease-stained hands, must learn to turn the afterlife's lemons into tasty lemon danishes.
Fat Vampire is a fresh twist on the tired old undead myth by Johnny B. Truant, author of many best-selling series, including Invasion, The Beam, Unicorn Western, The Dream Engine, Robot Proletariat and more.

Johnny writes fun, page-turning, layered, and most of all "inquisitive" fiction - stories told in many genres and ways, united by a curiosity about life's biggest questions.Whether the tale itself is about invading aliens, overweight vampires, or ordinary people in mind-bending situations, Johnny's stories always live on two levels. The first is the surface, where vivid characters come to life to undertake the most extraordinary adventures. The second level, however, is deeper: diving into the corners of reality itself or just the shadowland of a fractured mind.If you like Christopher Nolan's movies or Michael Crichton's books, you'll be right at home in the Truantverse.Originally from Ohio, Johnny and his family now live in Austin, Texas, where he's finally surrounded by creative types as weird as he is.
