He turned three women in the hope of finding a happily ever after… in return he got a series of vindictive bitches.

This is the funniest vampire story that I’ve read in a long time. Not because of any outward and obvious humour, but also because of the fact that it featured a vampire that thought he was all that. Until his choices of “wives” proved again and again and again that he wasn’t.

One of my favourite things about this short story is the fact that it turns the idea of vampires as these gorgeous seductors completely on its head. Alright, it’s still kind of true for the women – but not so much for the men. Which I love. Because I’ve never understood what is sexy about an undead man running around at night. Just ew. And now I have a story that shows that some people still feel the same way!!!
