Vampire a Go-Go: A Novel

Just as Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse was a “raucous thrill ride” (Publishers Weekly) and a playful stab at the post-apocalypse story Vampire a Go-Go is a satirical take on the modern horror story—providing more laughs and unforgettable characters. Victor Gischler is a master of the class-act literary spoof—a unique niche in which he has few equals. He has tackled many popular genres with his wry wit: crime noir the post-apocalyptic subgenre and now the horror novel genre. Frequently compared to Kurt Vonnegut Thomas Pynchon and Quentin Tarantino Gischler turns his attention to castles astrologers alchemists ghosts witches gun-toting Jesuit priests and werewolves with Vampire a Go-Go a hilarious romp of spooky gothic entertainment. Allen is a hapless grad student in trouble. He’s about to flunk out of school and there is not much that can be done to salvage his GPA—except to redeem himself by accompanying an eccentric professor and his enigmatic wife on a research trip to a castle in Prague. But Allen doesn’t know he’ll end up in a hunt for a supernatural device that can restore the humanity to the undead. Narrated by a ghost whose spirit is chained to the mysterious castle Vampire a Go-Go is full of twists and surprises that will have readers screaming—and laughing—for more.
