When cult science fiction novelist Shamus Ohio wrote his latest book, Horrorcaust, he expected it to appease his publishers and earn him a small paycheck. Instead, it re-defined the public perception of the "vampyre" for an entire generation.
With mainstream success, Shamus comes face to face with the real blood-sucking parasite the media. Everyone wants a piece of Shamus, as the mass hysteria surrounding his novel and the fight for control of his intellectual property threaten to tear his mind and conscience apart.
When fact starts mirroring fiction with deadly results, can the writer be held responsible? Can anyone achieve mainstream popularity without selling their soul? Can any piece of fiction make the leap from one medium to another with its core intact? What exactly is Parma ham, and why do people insist on serving it with rocket? All of these questions and more will be asked, if not answered.
The first of a two-part satirical vampire novel, for people who may already dislike vampire fiction, new-media, the film industry, hyperbole, social media, the 24-hour news culture and other day-to-day trappings of post-millennial life.
Edited by Nico Reznick, with a cover by Jay Heath.

Here we go again. Another vampire story. While many vampire tropes have been done to death, C Z Hazard's Generic Vampire Novel #937 is a refreshing novelty in the genre of vampire novels.Shamus Ohio has written several sci-fi novels with a moderate fan base, but what has thrust this quiet Brit into the limelight is his writing-exercise-turned-novel Horrorcaust striking a chord with a young audience, particularly in the US, who are fascinated with vampires. Following Shamus along his book tour stateside, events take place that get equated with the novel , which only generates increased success for the novel despite Shamus not being particularly fond of this work.
The story was incredibly enjoyable and I appreciated how it was self-aware of the genre and tropes that have been overdone. While the story itself was good, for the love of all that is holy, please indent your paragraphs! And I found it strange to read supposedly American English news sources and conversations written in British English--while I appreciate the attempt at consistency throughout the text, this would be a reasonable case for deviating for accuracy. An aspect of the novel that was intriguing was basically having two books in one with life of the author and the story he created alternating chapters as events develop unto their convergence.
Overall, I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Generic Vampire Novel #937 Part One American Sexy edition by C Z Hazard Nico Reznick Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is a raucous, fast-paced, flat out fun novel. Best of all, it's not about vampires (really), but about how perception shapes reality. Although the book is set mostly in America with mainly American characters, the British author has a perfect ear for American speech and an uncanny understanding of American pop culture. I highly recommend this book and its sequel. If you like Robert Anton Wilson, Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K Dick, you will love this. Truly a great, thought provoking read.
I am a big fan of vampire stories, I'll pretty much read anything featuring them, some can be terrible and some are incredible. My favourite vampire writers are Anne Rice and Chris Harrison, C. Z. Hazard is the latest author to be added to that list. It's not often that a writer is able to bring something new to the vampire world, most writers tend to stick to the myths but Hazard has achieved the almost impossible in this book, a new chapter in the vampire myth. I'm not going to spoil it and tell you what this is, buy the book and find out for yourself.
The title of the book is misleading, I was expecting a trashy vampire novel, ya know the type, all blood, tits and violence, instead you get a really clever breakdown of how the book publishing/movie making/news reporting world works. Our main character Shamus is a SciFi writer struggling with writers block, so he writes a trashy vampire novel as a sort of palette cleanser before he tries again on his SciFi novel. Shamus doesn't predict that the book will become and instant hit, he is soon doing book tours and meeting the idiots in the movie industry and being shocked at how the media deals with his books content. Hazard uses a few different writing techniques in this book, using news reports, forum discussions, documentary scripts and book/essay excerpts to get his story across.
One warning for you, this book ends on one hell of a cliff hanger so make sure you have book 2 lined up to go straight away.
This book made me care about the characters, laugh, and, perhaps more importantly, managed to surprise me. I enjoyed it immensely and am eagerly awaiting the conclusion.
Just a hoot of a novel. Buy it! Can't wait to read Part Two.
It's a lovely parody and made me laugh.
First off, let me state that this book ends right when the action begins. In other words, this free book is merely to get the reader to buy the conclusion. If you can deal with that, then you might want to read this book.
I liked the characters in this. I liked the author's subtle digs at much of pop culture.
I didn't mind the Stoker-like (one of the subtle digs at popular novels) book set up, with the shift in focus from character to character, the inclusion of newsfeeds, etc. This was quite well done, although it's multiple 3rd person limited POV instead of Stoker's multiple 1st person POV.
What I did not like was how slowly the story moved; the author put in a fair amount of drag to make the tale last into two books.
What I REALLY did not like was the fact that the copy editor consistently spelled "all right" as "alright" (Hello! 7th grade English stuff!) and that the word "phone" was spelled "'phone," not with an apostrophe even (which would still be wrong, even in Standard British Spelling), but with a single quote. This was done every time the word was used, which was a LOT.
So, overall, it's not a bad vampire/action/adventure tale, but it's one book split in half in an extremely annoying spot and it needs a good copy edit.
I got it for free, so I can't really complain, but I doubt I'll bother to buy the second volume -- not after the author pulled a cheat of an end like this.
After much anticipation, and a pre-release purchase, I was finally the proud owner of Generic Vampire Novel #937. It was totally worth the wait!
Hazard has successfully illuminated our ridiculous, media-obsessed society with his creation of "tracking" and his astute description of the media midwife that birthed it!
Seamus Ohio, the protagonist, is at once our everyman conduit into this world, and the unsuspecting driver of the action, and he is well drawn and fleshed out.
As a "Part One", we don't get the whole story here, but the stopping point is logical and we get a hint of what is to come. I am eagerly awaiting announcement of the next installment so I can once again pre-order it and see what lies in store for Seamus and friends! Great stuff! If you haven't bought this title yet, now's the time!
Here we go again. Another vampire story. While many vampire tropes have been done to death, C Z Hazard's Generic Vampire Novel #937 is a refreshing novelty in the genre of vampire novels.
