Our view
“Undead and Unemployed” is breezy vampire comedy from MaryJanice Davidson’s “Undead” series, built on absurd humour and a quick-witted heroine. Davidson wrote the series as an answer to the clichés of paranormal romance, and this instalment mixes jokes, a dash of mystery and a few scares. Some readers praise how briskly the plot moves and how readily it makes them laugh. Its appeal is lightness, not gothic gloom.
