Özet

Jim McDoniel's debut novel, An Unattractive Vampire, is a darkly comic urban fantasy of ancient horrors in suburban cities.

After three centuries trapped underground, thousand-year-old Yulric Bile, also known as The Cursed One, The Devil's Apprentice, He Who Worships the Slumbering Horrors, awakens only to find that no one believes he is a vampire. Apparently he's just too ugly. Modern vampires, he soon discovers, are pretty, weak, and, most disturbing of all, good. Determined to reestablish his bloodstained reign, Yulric sets out to correct this disgusting turn of events or, at the very least, murder the person responsible.

With the help of part-vampire wannabe Amanda; Simon, the eight-year-old reincarnation of his greatest foe; and a cadre of ancient and ugly horrors, Yulric prepares to battle the glamorous undead. But who will win the right to determine, once and for all, what it truly means to be a vampire?

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Jim McDoniel's first novel is quirky, wild, and weird, and definitely for those who hate those sexy vampire stereotypes who like their monsters nice and gross." (Geeks of Doom)

Unfortunately, I didn’t much like this audiobook. The story was slow and repetitive and I thought it'd be funny, but it was not my type of humour. The narrator's style fit the tone of the story, but I found it irritating. Surprisingly, I actually liked most of the characters, which is why I carried on until the end, but it was a struggle.

Not for me

Yulric Bile is an ancient vampire that has been resting in a pink house's basement for longer than he anticipated. Waking up 300 years later, he realises the world has changed too much. Not only the world but also vampires, who are now beautiful and "good". And the little boy that lives with him keeps trying to kill him, which is annoying.

This book was recommended by the StoryGraph model and it was much better than I was expecting. We can't help but root for Yulric as he tries desperately to adapt (and continuously fail) to modern times. The female characters are strong and intelligent, and better than the majority of the male characters, which is awesome as well. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I could only find the audiobook and it has a great narrator that voices Yulric perfectly.
