    About this ebook

    A VERY different vampire story

    "I recommend reading this amusing story especially if you laugh at the zany vampire craze."

    "A great mix of classic vampire lour and modern pop culture this is a great short story."

    "This was a book that was a lot of fun to read."

    Although Agatha Grace is over three hundred years old, it certainly doesn’t mean that she can’t adapt and fit into ugly post-industrial small town suburbia. Partial to the delights that an evening at McDonald’s often serve her, she waits at her favourite dimly lit corner table – for her kind of vampire take away. 

    Being your typical urban vampire, this means that her fare isn’t up in bright lights on the menu above the cashiers. However, she usually finds exactly what she is looking for. Her teenage beauty, long blonde hair and ice blue eyes are a temptation very few adorable young men.can resist.

    After a long and predictable vampiric existence, trouble is now afoot for Agatha Grace however. Red headed, freckled and occasionally a little slow on the uptake, young Reggie stumbles into Agatha’s predictability and turns it on its head, as he is struck by his first real dose of love at first sight. 

    Add the over-protective, rhyming ghost of a dead poet, a snarling black wolf, some cops and Agatha’s preference for the 1980’s fashion of mini-skirts, satin halter neck tops and knotted white blouses, things just may go awry, which of course they do.

    Along with a couple of untimely and unfortunate deaths, and Reggie’s complete misunderstanding of anything that’s going on, the awry becomes a dead certainty.

    Enjoy My Take Away Vampire. A very different, tasty little comedy vampire tale, but still with a little bite!

    Author

    Derek Haines

    Derek Haines is an author of science fiction farce, historical fiction and noir thrillers, who writes from a view of what fascinates him and not from a formula based on one theme or genre. His writing is varied but always written in a style that communicates with and engages his readers.  Most of all, the stories told by Derek Haines are about people, their feelings, regrets, hopes and struggles with life. Ordinary men and women, sometimes nonconformist, but with extraordinary qualities that make their story worth telling. While some books reflect his thoughts and beliefs, others are told from the view of characters who are sometimes dark and complex, or childishly open. With splashes of allegory, black humour or satire, his stories can develop from the simplistic to the complicated and back again, leaving the reader to decide if it is time to laugh or cry. Or both. Born in Australia, but now living in Switzerland, his stories cross a wide geographical range but often draw from elements of his life and experiences in the two countries he calls home. From the rugged, dry and hot desert country of Australia and its crowded cities, to the cafés of Europe and the peaks of the Swiss Alps. The hustle and bustle of Sydney to the quiet life of the Swiss countryside. When not writing and blogging, he is usually doing what he equally enjoys. Teaching English.
