The point of these quick takes posts is to catch up on my "To Write About" stack—emphasizing pithiness, not thoroughness.--- The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues by Ellen RaskinPaperback, 170 pg.Puffin Books, 1975Read: January 7-8, 2020Grab a copy from your local indie bookstore! I've never c...
This installment was a bit disappointing to me. The entirety of the story was Fred being assessed by a member of the Blood Council, who are the leaders of the vampire community. There was a question as to whether he was a capable clan leader, thus the need for assessment. But really the council ju...
It's more of the same for Fred and friends, but not in a bad way. The stories are always different and interesting. Fred has become the leader of his own parahuman clan, he's expanding his accounting business, and he's been tested and certified as a freelance accountant for the Agency. While the...
How in the world does a boring vampire accountant get pulled into so many dangerous shenanigans?! The silver immunity is still a mystery, but he has an elder dragon in his debt. There are rumors abound regarding a vampire who has befriended the head of the therions (were-creatures) in their town,...
Werewolves and Vampires and Dragons, oh my! Fred and his motley crew of friends are at it again. He expands his accounting business, gets kidnapped, recuses the daughter of his client who also happens to be the big bad alpha of his area. He also gets a taste of dragon blood which is a huge boost...
I expected to be amused with this and I was. The stories were all told via journal entries. Fred was turned into a vampire a year prior to the start of the entries. He was a normal, boring guy who worked as an accountant. He was overweight and awkward as a child and of course bullied. The first...
Being an accountant, even if it is for the paranormal community should pretty much be a danger free calm job. Despite Fred's sweater vests and over all calm demeanor, trouble seems to routinely find him. Fred isn't the bravest vampire in existence but his strong sense of morality and concern for ot...
Fred's new undead life as an abandoned vampire in Winslow, Colorado has been busy and full of trials but he's settled now, having built a family out of the friends he's managed to acquire in recent years. Even Fred's business as a paranormal accountant is booming, causing him to work both and night ...
3.5 stars rounded up because it was a nice fun read, perfect for October. Several evil villain and paranormal clichés are played for laugh in a simple and episodic tale which follows Fred the vampire and his motley crew. The “accountant” in the title did it for me; I simply can't resist the lure of ...
If you enjoy mild, dry, self-deprecating humour, delivered in the context of a tongue-in-cheek take on Urban Fantasy, then "The Utterly Uninteresting And Unadventurous Tales of Fred, The Vampire Accountant" is the book for you. Fred was not an exciting person before he became a vampire. He was a s...
