Jody didn't request to turn into a vampire. However, she discovers the choice has already been made for her as she awakens under an alley garbage with an extremely painful neck, a severely burnt arm, superhuman strength, and an unmistakable Nosferatuan appetite.
It will require work, however, to make the shift from the nine to five grind to an endless cycle of nighttime prowling, and that's where C. Thomas Flood comes in. A would-be Kerouac from Incontinence, Indiana, Tommy (to his friends) is biding his time night-clerking and frozen-turkey bowling in a San Francisco Safeway. However, everything changes when a stunning redhead zombie enters the building and begins to completely upend Tommy's life and afterlife in ways he never would have thought imaginable.
