Jake Coletrane, police officer for Tranquility, Arkansas, tries to investigate a murder at the local hotel amidst the chaos of a UFO convention, the filming of a ghost hunter reality TV show, and his own upcoming Renaissance-style wedding.

Each story has a different take on the legend of the Vampire. Some hide from the darkness and others can walk in the daylight. Some are cold, calculated killers and other are full of teenaged angst. Some are held at bay by garlic but others love Italian food. Here is a collection of story designed to poke funny at the whole vampire genre. We have funny stories about the troubles of immortality, about the crazy life of the vampire slayer, and about just how the different vampires get along. But in all the stories, one element is always there. Vampire Suck.
