Book Review: Fat Vampire Series by Johnny B. Truant

Imagine a world where vampires roam the earth. They are strong, fast, and deadly creatures that have a thirst for blood and the ability to live forever. You know their story. There is one catch, however. As soon as they are turned into these powerful creatures, they will stay in their physical form for the rest of their existence.

In this world, vampires are selected and go through a training process so that they will be as strong as possible before they transform. But for Reginald, that is not his fate. Fat, slow, and addicted to food, Reginald finds himself in the middle of a situation that could take his life, but with a stroke of mercy, he is bitten by a vampire and inducted into their world.

Johnny B. Truant turns the story of the typical vampire on its head with the comedic tale of Reginald Baskin, an overweight vampire who stands out in the crowd of bloodthirsty monsters that terrorize the night. Though unable to satisfy his appetite, Reginald continues to inhale the fatty foods that have consumed his psyche, but finds himself unequal to the task of hunting down humans for their life giving blood.
