Dave’s life is boring and miserable. He’s the permanent night clerk at the Last Stop convenience store in a small strip mall in Los Angeles. All he does is work, sleep, and eat. The boss is on his case all the time. Most of the customers are obnoxious. The only thing that brightens up his life is when Rosa comes in with some of her Goth friends. She’s friendly, polite and she’s a vegetarian. Dave’s friends encourage him to ask her out. He may feel insecure and afraid, but after all, he is a vampire. It’s possible that she might find that appealing.
And here's another take on the book:
Tripping Toward Lucidity: Estella's Revenge: Life Sucks, by Jessica Abel

I just read and reviewed this book this past weekend and really enjoyed it. Can't wait for more from Abel.
