Description
When Count Dracula joins a goth band, you know it’s just another day in New Orleans.
After centuries of persecution, Count Dracula promises Igor to give up his old ways, get to America, and find himself a lawyer. To succeed he will have to use his blood, and with that thought in mind, he steps into the future. Waking up in a Transylvanian-forest, one-hundred-and-fifty years later, fate introduces him to the drummer of the Techno Zombies, the biggest Goth band in the world about to tour America, and strictly due to his look the Count becomes the newest member of the band.
Meanwhile, in New Orleans, a newly married, handsome young lawyer is the victim of a hit and run. Dying on the way to hospital, he is ultimately transfused with vampyre blood, bringing him back to life and giving him superpowers with which he later single-handedly stops a bank robbery and draws the ire of the local mafia.
Populated with loveable rogues, scheming lawyers, thieving gypsies, and their knitting needle murdering mother, this comic, tragic, and twisted tale ends in a showdown at a giant pizza pie factory, where a time-traveling wizard has hopes for an ending that will fulfil everyone’s expectations until long past the conclusion of the final act.
Advance Praise
Count Dracula is an evil blood sucker from Transylvania. Everyone knows this. His houses keep getting burned down so Igor, his faithful servant tells him he should do good, not bad and sends him to a wizard to get his curse lifted. He tells him that he should go to America. So he heads off to see the Wizard. One hundred and fifty years later, he shows up in the forest, not knowing what century he is in and where he is. Fortunately, he is found by a member of a band, the Techno Zombies. The band thinks he will be great on the stage, so Drac( his band name) goes to America and becomes a star. He plays a violin that rocks. One day, Drac needs a lawyer. No one will take his case. Bradley Harrington Chester III, a lawyer who is getting his practice off the ground gets involved in a hit and run and Drac saves him. Now he has a lawyer. This book is not your usual vampire fare. It's not scary, but really funny. There's a Vampyre, lawyers, a techno band and of course mobsters. Loved this story. Great characters.

This book kept me up late, I absolutely loved it, there’s a lot of characters so I had to go back to remember who was who at first but after that I had it.......great storyline, not your typical vampyre story

Interesting story. I have read a lot books about Dracula and vampires in general and this story was a new approach. The story is about good and evil. As easy as that.
Who knows what would happen if Dracula one thay realises that that’s enough, he is going to be a good guy. And that he is in need of a lawyer. Read it and find out.

I really enjoyed this book, it was well written with a good storyline and well developed characters, which were essential to the plot but the amount of them made for confusing reading sometimes. However I still loved it and will definitely be looking for more from the author.

Read this straight through in one sitting. The write up on this book had me intrigued , and the story was well worth reading. A very different twist on the usual vampire / vampyre stories.
Esther C, Reviewer
Went into this too serious and didn't like it, then took a second look at it towards the end and really enjoyed it. I finished the book with a good laugh at all the insane things that happened in those 240ish pages. It's like watching a sitcom with the domino effect of chaos from one event to another. One massive blazing train wreck.
After all, how normal can your life be when Count Dracula decides to time travel and end up in a goth band as his ticket to a magical place called America?
