Some people are born boring. Some live boring. Some even die boring. Fred managed to do all three, and when he woke up as a vampire, he did so as a boring one.

Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night - different from the night he died, which was more inconvenient than fateful - Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos of the parahuman world: a world with chipper zombies, truck driver wereponies, maniacal necromancers, ancient dragons, and now one undead accountant trying his best to "survive". Because even after it's over, life can still be a downright bloody mess.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely, if they were into sci-fi/horror and comedy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant?

Without wanting to spoil anything.... would have to be the story where he takes down the necromancer cosplayer!

What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Without trying too much (as in, overplaying it to the point of cringeworthiness), he clearly separated the characters' voices and emoted well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, if I had the time!

Any additional comments?

Just an all-round meta-humorous take on the modern vampire story. Really funny in a dry way. Interesting characters and great world-building.

Fantastic

I can't imagine it will win any major literary awards, but Fred the Vampire Accountant is a pleasant enough read/listen, so long as you aren't expecting Dickensian social commentary or even three-dimensional characters. Like NPCs, Fred frequently makes good-natured fun of people who play role-playing games but, unlike NPCs, Fred doesn't have the same philosophical insight. Although the book is a continuous narrative in one sense, it is divided into separate chapters that could almost stand alone. This leads to a certain amount of repetition.

Fred is competently read, although the voice of Fred because decreasingly nerdy over time -- I have no idea whether this is intentional or not.

Fred was worth spending a few hours, but I'm not sure I will be buying the other titles in the series.

A bit of harmless fun

Unfortunately the vibes were off with comments that came off quite misogynistic. And while the narration was good, and the story would be good to fall asleep to- with the amount of repetition in every new section you won’t miss on anything, when the narrator did all these scary voices it jolted me awake.

Easy going story to listen to on background

The Story. The Narration from Kirby bringing each character to life. All fantastic!! This was such an amazing unexpected find! I'm going to binge the rest of the series now with each credit I get! Looking forward to hearing the Dramatised versions too!!

Perfect world building. Utterly believable and rather comical!! You must listen to this now!!

Outstanding!
