Partial to the delights that an evening at McDonald\u2019s often serve her, she waits at her favourite dimly lit corner table \u2013 for her kind of take away.<\/p>\n<p>Being your typical urban vampire, this means that her fare isn\u2019t up in bright lights on the menu above the cashiers. However, she usually finds exactly what she is looking for. Her teenage beauty, long blonde hair and ice blue eyes are a temptation very few can resist.<\/p>\n<p>After a long and predictable vampiric existence, trouble is afoot for Agatha. Red headed, freckled and just a little slow on the uptake sometimes, young Reggie stumbles into Agatha\u2019s predictability and turns it on its head.<\/p>\n<p>Add the over-protective and rhyming ghost of a dead poet, a snarling black wolf, some cops and Agatha\u2019s preference for the 1980\u2019s fashion of mini-skirts, satin halter neck tops and knotted white blouses, things just may go awry.<\/p>\n<p>Along with a couple of untimely and unfortunate deaths, and Reggie\u2019s complete misunderstanding of anything at all that\u2019s going on, the awry becomes a dead certainty.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy My Take Away Vampire. A very different yet tasty little vampire tale.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-65607 size-full\" title=\"My Take Away Vampire\" src=\"https:\/\/www.derekhaines.ch\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Take-Away-Vampire.jpg\" alt=\"My Take Away Vampire\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.derekhaines.ch\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Take-Away-Vampire.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.derekhaines.ch\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Take-Away-Vampire-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What Some Reviewers say about My Take Away Vampire:<\/h3>\n<p><em>New twist on Vampires<\/em><br \/>\n<em>By Fred Paxton<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase<\/em><br \/>\n<em>For such a short read the main characters were richly developed. Once started, I could NOT put this book down. Haines puts and interesting twist on vampires that I did not, repeat not, see coming. A delightful book sure to please any vampire lover.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Great book!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>By anduffy3 <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Amazon Verified Purchase<\/em><br \/>\n<em>This review is from: My Take Away Vampire (Kindle Edition)<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Really great vampire story! I love reading vampire stories, but after a while they all start to seem too similar. This book is a nice change to the vampire craze, and is definitely worth reading. The characters in this book are very interesting and versatile, especially the ghost of the dead poet that is mentioned in the description. This book is diverse enough to appeal to a wide audience, and anyone who disliked Twilight can rest assured that this book is nothing like that series. Agatha is a teen vampire, but this book is not just a dull teen read. I would highly recommend this book. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Easy to read classic meets pop culture tale<\/em><br \/>\n<em>By S. Coyne \u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Amazon Verified Purchase<\/em><br \/>\n<em>This review is from: My Take Away Vampire (Kindle Edition)<\/em><br \/>\n<em>A great mix of classic vampire lour and modern pop culture this is a great short story. While it is not very long that only adds to the charm, an easy and entertaining read. A story of struggle with self control, lust and loss, the main character is a metaphor for us all struggling through life&#8217;s confusing stages. While the vampire theme may seem reminiscent of another popular vampire movie, the book in unique in its own way and is sure to please readers of all types. A bit of harsh language so probably not the best for young or timid readers, but not unreasonable. Over all a great read.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A very different, yet tasty little vampire tale Although Agatha is over three hundred years old, it certainly doesn\u2019t mean that she can\u2019t adapt and fit into ugly post-industrial small town suburbia.
