Vampires. Living among humans who fantasize about them but don't know they exist. Drinking canned blood. Heard it before?

This one's for teens, but the language and the bimbo vamp who loses her head might be over-the-top for the younger ones. ( )

Spoilers threaten. This book was recommended. I liked it. I would like to go through it again for the graphics, I got interested enough in the story that I kind of whizzed through. The main character is fairly interesting but many of the supporting characters seem to be interchangeable. The story is sweet in a way, as long as you distance yourself from the ending.

Dave works nights at a convenience store and has a crush on Rosa, a goth girl he meets at the store. Unfortunately, Dave's "brother," rich, good-looking Wes, is after the same girl.

The kicker? Dave and Wes are both vampires under the control of the same master. Wes has embraced his evil vampire nature, but Dave insists on remaining a vegetarian, which means he does not have the same vampiric powers as Wes.

Better for more mature readers. ( )

Fun and quirky new graphic. Think of a vampire CLERKS. Dave is a young, depressed emo vampire boy-- a vegetarian vampire who refuses to kill- he lives on past date blood bank blood. Unlike the Anne Rice world of wealthy, educated, sophisticated vampires, the real vamp world is a lot like our own--Dave works the night shift at a quicky mart-- the owner is his vampire master who has en-wage-slaved him for eternity-- an eternity of sweeping the parking lot and pouring plastic cheese on nachos. Dave falls for a goth human girl named Rosa but so has his rival-- a jerky surfer boy vampire who is very strong. Who will Rosa choose.
Clever and witty-- the book is very clerks--i loved it and the subtle humor and dead end job focus will appeal to older more irreverent teens. An award winning graphic. ( )

Life sucks for Dave Marshall.

The girl he’s in love with doesn’t know he exists, he hates his job, and ever since his boss turned him into a vampire, he can’t go out in daylight without starting to charbroil. ( )
