Stan Lightfoot is the perfect paparazzo. He and his talented canine companion can track down anybody, anywhere. He's on the hunt, and with the next flash of his camera, Stan could ruin a celebrity's life and become a millionaire. His work has gone unappreciated by everything from beefy bodyguards to vicious Chihuahuas, but this time he's interrupted by something new: a vampire. When she discovers Stan's talents, the fanged woman demands his help in introducing her to her celebrity crush. It's an offer he can't refuse: Stan must deliver the world's biggest movie star on a non-silver platter, or find himself on the menu instead. He's forced on a twisted road trip through nightmare America, and his new companion doesn't mind driving through the night. Stan has a few days to figure out this perplexing woman with a monstrous hunger for blood and an all-too-human obsession with fame. Her power is god-like, but he's been in tough situations before. Maybe he can at least save his dog. The bigger conundrum is that to the perfect paparazzo, a star who doesn't want to be found is as dangerous as any monster. This 2015 print edition looks prettier than ever.… (meer)

“Stars and Other Monsters” is a well-written story that could fall into a category of its own. Personally, I enjoy the strange and diverse, and this novel did not disappoint. There were moments near the end where the action may have gotten away from Phronk. This resulted in slow-paced reading for fast-paced action, but then Phronk delivered a sucker-punch twist that I never saw coming.

The writing style was fun and clear, and though the story leaned towards a 6 on a Kinsey-esque scale of the bizarre, it was not over-the-top eccentric. Anybody who enjoys reading about vampires, camp, quirky, noir, horror, comedy, adventure, action, the Letterman Show, or the downfall of WalMart could definitely sink their teeth (pun intended) into the oddball gore fest that is “Stars and Other Monsters.”

Of note, Phronk ends his story with the hint of a sequel. I’m ready. ( )

Yup, ANOTHER vampire book...is what I thought when I first started this and at the end I was so glad I didn't just pass it up. It;s a funny mix of vampires, stars, and dogs oh my! I totally recommend this to anyone who wants a vampire who's not a moody self loathing forever teen.
