Story of the Week #21: Trial By Sewer (Sangrilicious III)

This is Part Three of Sangrilicious, my epic tale of Delilah the Vampire. Part One is “Sangrilicious“, and Part Two is “The Prince’s Challenge“. The response to Delilah’s stories have been pretty positive, which surprises me. I don’t like most vampire fiction, after all, and I can’t imagine that any vampire fiction I’d ever write would be any good. On the other hand, Christopher Moore, one of my favorite writers, did write Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, two very funny novels which also happen to be vampire novels, so maybe I can make a couple of exceptions. I think I can detect some of Moore’s influence in Delilah’s story.

I’ve ended up having to do a bit of retconning here, by the way. In Part One, I stated that Delilah had killed her sire prior to setting out on the road to Roosterville. I’ve changed that, so now her sire is actually still alive. It gives Delilah something to focus on.

Enjoy!
