The last thing zaftig middle-aged journalist, Rhoda Ginsburg, expects when she signs up for JDate is to fall for a vampire. But when she meets drop-dead gorgeous Sheldon, a Hasidic vampire, she falls hard. She rationalizes that he may not be alive, but at least he’s Jewish. Desperate to save the life of her terminally ill mother, Rhoda comes up with the crackpot idea of getting Sheldon to turn her and her little old Jewish lady friends into vampires.

Clarke Science Fiction Award winner Unquenchable Fire, and World Fantasy Award winner Godmother Night “Filled with knowing winks to readers of vampire fiction, from Dracula to Lestat, Interview with a Jewish Vampire is unexpectedly credible, even while pumping Catskill-flavored jokes through its basically silly premise. Interview is told in a fast, punchy style: “I was a Jewish divorcee of 41 who claimed to be 35. He had been dead for a long time, but I didn't know that right away." You know exactly where it's going, but the road there is a lot of fun.     --Jewniverse; MyJewishLearning.com HYSTERICAL!!! Smoothly written, stereotypes jab you right and left, cliches abound with luxurious abundance, the setting is authentic (in New York and Florida, two places I can drive around in without a GPS), and the CHARACTERS POP OFF THE PAGES!!!  I'm planning to gift a Kindle copy to a friend who could use a great laugh.    --Jacqueline Lichtenberg,  winner of the Galaxy Award for Spirituality in Science Fiction with her second novel, Unto Zeor, Forever from the Sim-Gen series.
