The undead rise again in Bite Me, the third book in New York Times
bestselling author Christopher Moore’s wonderfully twisted vampire saga.
Joining his farcical gems Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, Moore’s
latest in continuing story of young, urban, nosferatu style love, is no
Twilight—but rather a tsunami of the irresistible outrageousness that
has earned him the appellation, “Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and
a double-espresso imagination” from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and
inspired Denver’s Rocky Mountain News to declare him, “the 21st
century’s best satirist.”
Christopher Moore is the author of eleven novels, including the
international bestsellers, Lamb, A Dirty Job and You
Suck. His latest novel is Fool, a retelling of King Lear
from the perspective of Pocket, the Fool.
Chris was born in Toledo, Ohio and grew up in Mansfield, Ohio. His
father was a highway patrolman and his mother sold major appliances at a
department store. He attended Ohio State University and Brooks Institute
of Photography in Santa Barbara. He moved to California when he was 19
years old and lived on the Central Coast until 2003, when he moved to
Hawaii.
Before publishing his first novel, Practical Demonkeeping in
1992, he worked as a roofer, a grocery clerk, a hotel night auditor, and
insurance broker, a waiter, a photographer, and a rock and roll DJ.
Chris has drawn on all of these work experiences to create the
characters in his books. When he’s not writing, Chris enjoys ocean
kayaking, scuba diving, photography, and sumi-e ink painting. He divides
his time between Hawaii and San Francisco.

Praise for Christopher
Moore:
"Where has this guy been
hiding?" The New York Times
"A very sick man, in the
very best sense of the word." Carl Hiaasen
"Habit-forming
zaniness."
USA Today
"The greatest satirist
since Jonathan Swift" Denver Rocky Mountain News
"Christopher Moore writes novels that are not only hilarious, but fun to
read as well. He is an author at the top of his craft."
— Nicholas Sparks
"All [his] books exhibit the same marvelous virtues. Engaging, deftly
limned protagonists whose human failings are always offset by surprising
moral depths, heroes and villains alike. Zippy, jet-propelled plots
whose parts are intricately connected and whose endings offer genuine
surprises. Bright, clean, witty dialogue. Juicy descriptions, similes
and metaphors in the hyperbolic mode. Vivid physical settings and
cultural milieus, meticulously reported from first-hand
experience....And - finally but essentially - ingenious fantasy elements
that are integral with the other components of the books, engines of
action, not just add-ons."
— Washington Post Book World
"The thinking man’s Dave Barry or the impatient man’s Tom Robbins, Moore
takes cheap laughs where he can get them . . . over the last decade,
he’s learned how to merge them into speculative romps that skip merrily
in and out of the realm of possibility."
— The Onion
"Christopher Moore is
rapidly becoming the cult author of today, filling a post last held by
Kurt Vonnegut."
— Denver
Post
"Christopher Moore
deserves acclaim on the Dave Barry/Christopher Buckley level, or even
beyond that, for he’s better than either of them."
— Fort
Worth Star-Telegram
"Moore excels at putting
a comic spin on cosmic issues."
— San
Francisco Chronicle
"Moore is one of those rare writes who is laugh-out-loud funny."
— Santa Barbara
Independent
"Moore’s comedic style is refreshingly relaxed and good-natured; when it
comes time for him to deliver a satirical barb, he does so with reliable
accuracy."
— San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle
"Moore’s storytelling style is reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas
Adams."
— Philadelphia
