Fine, the coffin in the basement was a little unusual. Certainly no more so than the mansion itself, though, or, for that matter, the humpbacked manservant that came with it, or the mysterious death of its former owner. In fact, so starts a long list of all things unusual for our unlikely hero, Jack, and his newfound and strange family, his werewolf boyfriend, the pack eager to help him, and the ancient clan that wants him dead at all costs. Know this, however, in the end, this misfit group of characters will leave you howling in the crypt aisles!

Review: To say that this was stupendously silly and outrageous would be in the authors words “An Obese Overstatement”! This story is full of camp, I mean vamp, as in CAMPY, vampy. There is of course the Queerwolf from our earlier foray into Christopher Moore-ish writing adventures. Then we are reintroduced to the former “baddie” alpha werewolf Steven Littleton, who is of course gasp-worthy good-looking. We have werewolves in drag, were-pires or should I say Queerpires, Vamps, hump-backed family trees, the mailman’s Adonis-like spawn, goiters, vamp class warfare, lots of quick fucks, and tongue in cheek laughs, pun intended. A lot is thrown at you, along with all the spears. If you understand and appreciate the writing of one of Rob Rosen’s heroes, Christopher Moore, (which I have) you will be able to understand the style and sense of humor that Rosen is trying to resurrect. If you haven’t previously read Moore, well…you’re on your own, I can’t help you.
