'''''You Suck: A Love Story''''' is the tenth novel by [[Christopher Moore (author)|Christopher Moore]]. |
|||
It is a sequel to the author's ''[[Bloodsucking Fiends]]'', from 1995, and was released on [[January 16]], [[2007]] by [[William Morrow and Company]].<ref>[http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780060590291/You_Suck/index.aspx You Suck: A Love Story by Christopher Moore]</ref> |
|||
== Plot == |
|||
The story of ''You Suck'' continues directly from the previous novel, ''Bloodsucking Fiends''. Jody, a newly minted vampire, has remained in [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]] despite her promise to the police to move away after the previous incidents. Tommy, her boyfriend, is shocked at the beginning of the sequel to discover that Jody has "turned" him (i.e., made him a vampire)—hence the title of the novel, although she explains that she did it so that they could be together forever. They struggle to survive and to maintain their relationship despite the efforts of others to eliminate them. |
|||
== Popularity == |
|||
The novel reached sixth place on the [[New York Times Best Seller list]], according to [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/04/books/bestseller/0204besthardfiction.html?_r=1&oref=slogin the online issue dated February 4, 2007] |
|||
== Cameos and Continuity == |
|||
Naturally, several other characters from ''Bloodsucking Fiends'' appear in this sequel, including the vampire who originally "turned" Jody, "The Animals"—Tommy's co-workers at the grocery, police detectives Rivera and Cavuto, and "[[Emperor Norton|The Emperor]]". Abby Normal, who was a minor [[Goth subculture|Goth]] character in ''[[A Dirty Job]]'', here provides much of the narration from the diary of her adventures as a "minion" of Tommy and Jody. In addition, the plot briefly intersects with that of ''A Dirty Job'', at the point where Jody visits Charlie Asher's store one night to deliver the "soul vessel" of a dying old man whom she has just consumed. Although many of Moore's books feature appearances by characters from his previous novels, this is the first instance of the same scene being shown in two different books, from two different characters' perspectives. |
