Reader review: It sounds like a silly premise: cat turned into vampire - and it is.  But it's silly in a good way.  Patch narrowly escapes from one close call after another, all the while sharing snarky comments on the inherent inferiority of dogs, what makes a good cat associate (owner), and what it means to be a vampire (generally he's not thrilled about the idea).

“But just when you think that the story is all fluff (of the calico variety, of course), it throws in an occasional observation about civil rights, gay rights, animal rights, religious fanatics, sleazy lawyers, media manipulation, and small-minded tyrants.  In other words, if you want a bit of depth to your humor, you can find it here, but if you don't, you can enjoy those one-liners.”

Reader review: The Vampire Kitty-cat Chronicles provided me with some much needed humor. Told from Patch's perspective, the story starts with the incident that changes him from a normal kitty-cat to vampire kitty-cat. From there we see his narrow escape from being sunburned to death, his torment of a vampire dog that is afraid of cats and his unintentional place in the political spotlight. As I read Patch's story I laughed out loud many times and stopped to read some of the cat's witty opinions to my husband.

I enjoyed Ray's characterization of Patch - an independent cat that calls 'em like he sees 'em. Some of the human vampires were annoying, but I suppose they would be to a cat. This is not a nail-bitter of a story, but truly entertaining and fun to read, even with blood thirst and mob scenes. You don't have to be a cat-lover or dog-hater to appreciate this story.

So if you are looking for something quick and funny to read, check it out.
