DESCRIPTION:
Some people are born 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. Some live boring. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos that is 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.. Some even die boring

In spite of his less-than-exciting career, he still manages to have many adventures. Don't let the title fool you: they are VERY interesting and a lot of fun.The book is structure. T.W. Barton said Wereponies, nuf said. I saw this book on my FB feed, recommend By Rick Gualtieri who has probably one of the funniest Vampire series I've had the pleasure to read called Bill the Vampire. As I respect his writing I decided that taking a risk on this new author was probably a safe bet.I'm not sure how to even begin to explain this book. The first thing that struck me was the title. It's the longest title for a book that I have read and I read a lot of books but it stood out in it's oddity, I mean most book titles are short and to the point. The nex
