Erik suckered me into reading another of his slightly-off books: Gil’s All-Fright Diner
Pretty neat, little book, read over 2 hours in 2 days. The premise is essentially a folksy, redneck buddy tale, but these two buddys Duke and Earl (yeah, ask Erik says, “You gotta know something’s up when the two main characters are named Duke and Earl”), they happen to be a Werewolf and a Vampire. Redneck Werewolf and Vamipire…
So, the story starts with their old pickup truck (naturally…) running out of gas in front of Gil’s All Night Diner. Gil skipped town a few years ago, under mysterious circumstances, and the proprietress, Loretta, has two problems–she needs to run a new gas line, and she keeps getting attacked by Zombies from yon graveyard.
The premise holds-up pretty well, and the book is full of quotable quotes…overall, it was good to read ANYTHING. Distraction is good for one, it would seem…
