Bloodsucking Fiends Review

Chistopher Moore's novel Bloodsucking Fiends and Bram Stoker's novel Dracula have some similarities. Besides the obvious like there are vampire hunters there a few deeper similarities. There are also many differences. For example, Moore focuses more on the comedy aspect of what can happen if vampires and humans get together and try to maintain a relationship. Bram Stoker tries to focus on the scary aspect of Dracula.
On Moore's website, he gives advice on writing. he follows a lot of these steps in his own writing. He says instead of telling what the character is doing after they have said something, it's better to show in your writing. Instead of saying that
she said something digustedly, show it in her facial expression or through her actions while she says it. He follows his advice to the T. He doesn't like to put those kind of tags at the end of his commentary. He also likes to have fun with his writing and it's very apparent in his novel. When Jody and Thomas finish having sex for the first time, he asks if they can do again only with thier shoes of this time. That tiny line is genius and it's so simple and yet so fun. Christopher Moore takes pride in his work and it shows tremendously. I enjoyed his novel so much that I wouldn't mind reading the sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends. There were a couple scenes that I didn't understand for a while but I went on I found myself immersed in the book and laughing out loud.
