Southern Bites by Neil Benson is a vampire story that takes place in the south. An obese young man with minimal intelligence is turned into a vampire as a result of an accident. The young man learns that being a vampire can be more challenging than he thought. Do not look for southern mansions, pedigreed families, or any form of aristocrats from the south.
