Gil’s All Fright Diner<\/em> (2005) A. Lee Martinez<\/a><\/p>\n

\"gils_all_fright_diner\"<\/a>A vampire and werewolf walk into a diner… Not in those words, but that’s pretty much the start of Gil’s All Fright Diner<\/em>. Duke the werewolf and Earl the vampire end up spending time at Gil’s All Night Diner, to help Loretta the owner deal with her zombie problem. Meanwhile, Tammy, a young and bored teenager, is working to bring about the end of the world with her follower and boyfriend, Chad.<\/p>\n

The story is an irreverent romp. Both Duke and Earl are rednecks as well as supernatural, and neither has a supernatural beauty–though Earl does have a vampire’s sexual charisma.<\/p>\n

And… I have to admit that it was interesting, but for me it was just a tad bit too long. I think I would have enjoyed it more as a novella. But that’s almost certainly just me, as I wasn’t that enamored of Christopher Moore’s Bloodsucking Fiends either.<\/p>\n

So very amusing, but not my thing. Bet Michael will enjoy it though.
