Lean and Simple Fat Vampire 6 Title

The Era of Nighttime Has Begun...Forty years have passed since the end of the vampire/human war. Vampires have taken over the planet and have settled in, making themselves comfortable in the infrastructure their predecessors built, with just a few adjustments to ensure a permanent night. Humans still exist, tightly controlled, because the alpha species needs to eat.

However, even after four decades of peace, Reginald can't shake his conviction that the war never really ended. The archive he still holds in his blood warns of an ominous change on the horizon. As old foes rise, the power structures of both races begin to falter, and the very existence of life on Earth (both hot-blooded and undead) hangs in the balance.

Rebel humans have developed new and frightening weapons, and they aren't afraid to use them even if it could mean the end of everything. And Reginald Baskin — always an outcast, always neglected — may be the only chance to stop it.

As Reginald steps into his destined role as a leader, he faces a hideous inevitability that even he never saw coming … and that he may be too late to prevent.

Readers of Johnny B. Truant's blockbuster series will never look at vampires (or vampire stories) the same way again. The series has been praised for its unique take on the vampire mythos, blending humor, thoughtfulness, and unexpected twists.

One reviewer, Reginald Singler, raved: "WOW!! If you haven't read this series then stop what you're doing and read 'Fat Vampire'. Johnny has taken the typical vampire mythos and changed it so that's it a story about what does it mean to be a person, how things at odds can be connected and don't judge someone by their looks/abilities."

Another reader, Robin Surface, commented on the series' balance of humor and depth: "Reginald's constant lack of physical abilities and subsequent issues because of it are always good for a chuckle, but there was more to the story than laughs. The characters were vibrant and interesting and there was lots of 'mysterious' stuff going on too. Overall, this was one great ride and certainly the needed counterbalance to all the 'beautiful' vampire stories out there."

Keir praised the series' ability to offer a fresh perspective on vampires: "This is one of the most unique vampire series...and the most unique vampire. Its humorous and thought provoking, with the funniest sex scenes ever. This last book really answered questions and gave another new way of thinking about vampires...the whole series was leading to this unexpected end. It made you think..'well, of course'."

Lynnette summed up the series' compulsive readability: "I read the whole series I couldn't put it down it was totally different outside the Box I love the characters there's nothing I didn't like it was fast paced intriguing funny sad all motions rolled up into one you have got to read this series it bites you and doesn't like go."

Finally, elfshanx praised the series' intelligence and imagination, calling it "the smartest vampire epic that exists" and "super-imaginative in the ways both species have evolved." The reviewer concluded that the final book, "Survival of the Fattest," is "the perfect last piece of the puzzle, an awesome ending to an awesome series, and the final scene takes us out on a perfect note."
