Straight Outta Fangton A Comedic Vampire Story edition by C T Phipps Literature Fiction eBooks

Straight Outta Fangton plays with the title of the beloved movie Straight Outta Compton and the resemblances are there for anyone who wants to go into that direction.
But Straight Outta Fangton has earned the right to be discussed on its own: just follow the story of Peter, a vampire who works in a convenience store and lives a not very glamorous life and then gets thrown into a world where his life (or death?) is always on the line. It’s an urban fantasy, with a splash of thriller, with a great comedic tone, quirky and sarcastic. The pace is quite good and you’ll keep reading until the very end without feeling disappointed.
The author does a brilliant work creating a fantasy world with amazing characters that work very well together. It was a very enjoyable reading.

Straight Outta Fangton A Comedic Vampire Story edition by C T Phipps Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Peter Stone hasn't been a vampire very long, but long enough to recognize when the evening is going terribly wrong. What starts out as helping a new vampire with the transition turns into a complex night of lavish parties and unforeseen deceit wrought with conspiracies. Plus what would a vampire story be without bloodthirsty vampire hunters!

Set in New Detroit, where vampires have built up a Vegas-like capital for tourism and glamorized their nightlife, Straight Outta Fangton delivers a daring plan that unfolds into a complex plot that degrades into all-out war.

The more Phipps work I read, the more I enjoy his fun style. The dialogue and characterization bring some lighthearted moments to an otherwise intense conflict. Peter is frustrated with the realities of his dead-end unlife, but begrudgingly still cares for his creator, Thoth. When he finds out a psychotic vampire hunter is in town, he goes to warn Thoth of the hunter's violent plans to attack the Old Ones.

Naturally, there's a lot more history to it than Peter was aware of, and in playing his part to protect his way of life, he must confront his own personal history, from the people he loved to the terrors he took part in.

The tension picks up considerably toward the end, and I enjoyed being fully immersed in this extravagant tale. I loved the variety and depth Phipps brought to the characters and the vampire culture in general. I highly recommend this book to readers looking for a smart urban fantasy with violence and action, and vampires that are decadent and bold without being romanticized.
Do you remember your favorite Vampire in any book or film? Whomever you choose, you’ll find good reason to read this book. I have been a big fan of Anne Rice’s Lestat for decades. I loved The Lost Boys, Van Helsing, and Being Human was an awesome show on both sides of the pond. Then there was Trueblood. Which turned into a huge disappointment in later seasons, but’s that’s because C T Phipps wasn’t writing for them. If he had been we’d still be watching today. Except we’d have a city, like Detroit, in which many Old Ones seek to create a vampire utopia.

Now one of my favorite vamps is Stone. Peter Stone.
Straight Outta Fangton is intensely funny and snarky while it maintains a unique view of undead life. Character driven to the core. This would make an extremely well-loved series on screen. We need more black vampires as main characters in this genre. Especially since this is a self described comedy. The snark is intelligently done and fits the characters perfectly, creating a relatable scenario full of nerdy book and film one liners.
Phipps has done some really nice work here. The plot is a mystery which is not so cliched, that you spotted it in chapter one either. Kudos on that storyline Charles! The dialogue, while both hysterical and campy at times is quite good. The world building is terrific.

The supernaturals are varied and their plight, their actions, and especially the cold hearted way in which they view mortal lives while playing the long game as they age are fascinating.

A tangled mix of heated divisive views creates a great weakness in council of the Vampire Nation and now the Vampires, and the Ancient Ones, with their long laid plans, are being hunted by one of their most feared enemies.
A thorough pleasure to read. Looking forward to the next.
This is the story of Peter Stone, who is a vampire who has been exiled by his maker from his hometown of New Detroit, where vampires are actually quite numerous. He makes his way by working at a convenience store, not unlike a 7-11, with his boss the werewolf drug addict, and his friend and servant (someone who serves a vampire for a time until they change them).

When they find a newly made vampire in the ladies room of the store one night, one who was made and then left there alone without any of the support a newly made vampire would need, Peter steps in to help her out, and to see if he can figure out who she is and why someone would do this to her. In trying to figure it out he runs into all kinds of vampire shenanigans.

This story wasn’t too bad. It was well written and engaging enough that I never had a problem staying interested in it. I liked Peter, as a character, and I rooted for him to win the day, so to speak. This one, like the Weredeer series is full of pop culture references, some of which seemed admittedly a little out of place at times, but not too often.

Cary Hite, the narrator, was probably most of the reason I liked this book as much as I did. He was a fantastic narrator for this book, and he made every character in it come to life for me. I especially loved his narration of the character of Thoth (I dunno if I spelled that right, because audiobook) who is Peter’s maker. He’s described as having a very slight Caribbean accent, and Cary Hite totally nailed it. It was just perfectly slight. So super well done on the narration front. I’ll definitely endeavor to listen to books that he narrates in the future.

All told, I had a pretty good time with this one. It wasn’t my favorite vampire fantasy novel, but it was certainly an interesting idea to see things from the POV of a poor vampire in a city full of vampires and how he makes his way in the world.
