Tim Thompson is a young man waiting only to join his entire family in the grave. But when he is hired by a mysterious undertaker business, he learns that many things other than death can happen to him, starting with his “natural” transformation into a vampire without being sired. Joining the vampire-run Undertakers Inc. business is the beginning of a long journey that leads him to his true love, and right back to his relatives, also vampires. Undead life isn’t simple when you are the son of an ultra-dominant vampire eyeing the Dark Throne, whether it is among the intrigues of the vampire court of England, or among the liberated bohemian vampires of Paris. But Tim is not alone. His hot-tempered sister Holly’s ambitions melt like ice under the sun when her eyes fall upon a handsome Chinese vampire, and the two of them commit murder and become fugitives. Joe the Mad Hatter, an eccentric but shy necromancer and author of vampire romance novels, is always there to save the day. And when you work for Undertakers Inc., you have a forever home with Fiona.
