AUDIOBOOKS read by Susan Bennett

Vampire books.  I know, cliche.  In my defense, Bloodsucking Fiends was published in 1995, way before the Twilight fiasco.  Over the last year or two, I’ve listened to four of Christopher Moore’s other books (Fool, A Dirty Job, Lamb, and Island of the Sequined Love Nun), and these fit with his typical comedic storytelling.  Moore’s vampire trilogy follow a pair of unlikely vampires and a number of supporting characters that wind up battling waves of ancient vampires, vampire cats, and each other.  I enjoyed the books, but made a mistake in listening to them back-to-back as I started to tire of the cast of characters mid-way through the third book.  Moore has a unique style that is probably not for everyone.  If you’ve never read Moore, I’d recommend you start with Fool, Lamb, or A Dirty Job.  If you’ve read Moore and enjoy his style, then I heartily recommend the vampire trilogy.  The books stand on their own, but you’ll get more enjoyment if you read all three in order (just take a bit of a break between each one).
