Hurricanes and vampires and superheroes... oh, my!Following the events of Bride of the Fat White Vampire and The Bad Luck Spirits' Social Aid and Pleasure Club, Jules Duchon and his vampiric family suffer through Hurricane Antonia's devastating floods. In an emptied city, where will they get their blood? Salvation arrives from a highly unlikely source: a trio of Japanese superheroes working with the International Red Cross. But the help of Bonsai Master, Anime Girl, and Cutie-Scary Man comes with a bedeviling price. The blood donated by the three superheroes proves to have highly unpredictable effects on its imbibers. Before they know it, Maureen is transformed into her worst, weightiest nightmare, Jules' mother cleans up Fraternity Row as a human vacuum cleaner, and Jules terrorizes the French Quarter as the meanest, horniest Easter Bunny ever! Chaos ensues in the best tradition of the Fat White Vampire series!Praise for the Fat White Vampire series: "... the best thing to happen to vampire fiction in ages."--Linda Marotta, Fangoria Magazine "There's a great tradition of New Orleans vampire novels . . . In this very, very funny first novel, Andrew Fox bears the standard high."-James Sallis, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction "Funny, clever, and highly entertaining."--Joe Murphy, The Dragon Page

Science fiction is NOT a safe space!In this companion volume to Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction, fourteen stories by Ian Creasey, Andrew Fox, David Wesley Hill, Liam Hogan, Claude Lalumière, and other writers from around the world push the boundaries of what is considered taboo in science fiction. From a society where telling an insult joke is a capital crime to one where letting your faucet drip may cost you your head, from a utopia where inequality and want have been abolished to a hostile planet whose isolated colonists must deal with the aftermath of a sexual assault among their own, these stories pull no punches.With an introduction by award-winning author Barry N. Malzberg.

Over Our Heads: the brilliant debut by Andrew Fox.A young man rushes to the bedside of his ex, knowing the baby she's having is not his own. Travelling colleagues experience an eerie moment of truth when a fire starts in their hotel. A misdirected parcel sets off a complex psychodrama involving two men, a woman and a dog ... Andrew Fox's clever, witty, intense and thoroughly entertaining stories capture the passions and befuddlements of the young and rootless, equally dislocated at home and abroad. Set in America and Ireland - and, at times, in jets over the Atlantic - Over Our Heads showcases a brilliant new talent.'The stories are wonderfully crafted and cared-for, the undertones are witty and ironic, but also serious and filled with sympathy' Colm T ib n, Guardian'Over Our Heads is full of surprises, all of them great' Roddy Doyle, winner of the Booker Prize'Deft, clever, intense - this is a terrific debut from a very gifted new writer' Kevin Barry, winner of the IMPAC prize'Andrew Fox's stories are slivers of power; knowing, watchful and burning with intelligence. Lives half-lived or grasped at; loves longed for and destroyed; the journey of the modern emigrant who goes away in the same daze in which he comes home: these are stories which linger long after they have been read' Belinda McKeon'Fox is skilful at probing the bigger emotions: alienation, loss and nostalgia. His sparse prose is an effective counterpoint to complex feelings. His stories deal with the moments that shape a life: first trysts, the illness of a parent, the graduation of a child. ... Fox knows the hallmark of a good short story: leave the reader wanting more' Financial Times'An impressive and thoroughly enjoyable collection ... Fox lets his characters tramp around their worlds, searching for heaven on earth' Irish Times'Achieves the effect of intimating deep fissures of pain and longing beneath the lightest of surface cracks. Fox's prose is poised and confident, a well-honed tool with which to treat his delicate subject matter' Sunday Times'The best of these stories are very good indeed ... While there are few happy souls in these arresting stories, the reader can find consolation in Fox's supple prose and frequently subtle insights' Irish Independent'A remarkable new talent ... He is able to tread so lightly that we only realise we have been cleverly punched in the solar plexus after we finish the last line' Irish Mail on Sunday (five stars)
