This one’s out of the vault and one of my favorite vampire stories. It is the second (in a series of five) President’s Vampire books by Christopher Farnsworth. It is about a vampire that works for the president of the United States. The book was published in 2011 so the president referenced could have been President Obama or it could have been West Wing’s President Bartlet. The story is paranormal but with a lot of buddy-cop action—if you can be buddies with a 140-year-old vampire. The plot is simple: the world is going to end, and it is up to the president’s vampire (Nathaniel Cade) and his human handler, Zach Barrows, to stop it. It is that simple. Even though evil supernatural forces are against the vampire and the reader knows that he must succeed (there are sequels, after all) but, until the very last page, you’re not quite sure how it will all turn out. A quick-and-easy-to-read book and a fun interview.
Christopher’s latest book is Buried Secrets (2025). "[An] entertaining tale . . . This is Farnsworth’s first entry in the series created by Robert Parker, and fans will be pleased. So, Paradise isn’t paradise, and the Parker legacy lives on." —Kirkus Reviews
