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.… (meer)

I enjoyed reading the first story for the most part but stopped at the beginning of the second.
Sadly, the second one has the mc blundering unprepared through awkward situations and putting his foot in it every step of the way.
I suffer from extreme vicarious embarrassment which makes even just reading situations like that extremely uncomfortable so I didn't want to continue.
There was nothing wrong with the book so far. I would give the first story alone 3.5-4 stars but I won't rate this one as I am not in a position to judge the rest because of its kind of humour.

Fred is what made this book. You can't help but love the awkward, nerdy, accountant, turned vampire. His dedication to his friends was admirable and though his adventures were anything but uninteresting, I wished the story and characters had been fleshed out a bit more.

I enjoyed this bit of fluff and it was a quick read. If you like vampires and enjoy a character you can empathize this, I suggest you give this book a try. ( )

That was a fun ride.
I heard it as audio book and due to its episode form it is very well designed for that. Love the character and his friends. Will definitely look out for the other parts of this series. ( )

I have not been this bored by a book in a very, very long time. This book got very close being a DNF for me, but I made myself push through and finish it, playing it on speakers through my house while cleaning and listening to it through headphones on plane rides.

I get why this book (and likely its series) is supposed to be cute, but it falls entirely flat for me. I didn't find the main character, his girlfriend, or any of his friends all that endearing. The set of collected short stories about them were mostly predictable, and there's little at this point that could convince me to read the further books in it.

This book is dedicated to the uncool, uncoordinated, unexceptional, uncharming, uninteresting, and especially the unashamed. To everyone from the Awkwards to the Zeroes, living as the proud oddballs they are. This book is dedicated to my people.

My name is Frederick Frankford Fletcher, and yes, that name did get me beaten up quite frequently when I was a child.
My unlife was so boring that even the woman who hunted monsters saw me as harmless.
A lesser man might have objected to the woman taking the wheel on such a long journey. A lesser man would also have been a stupider man, and one with a severe crotch injury to boot.
Today, the only cavalry we had was a werepony, a bumbling zombie, and a chickenshit vampire.
I wondered if it was too late to place a bet on the other guy to win.
Her voice was high and squeaky, peppered with levels of enthusiasm attainable only by children and drug addicts.
