The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant
Quotes from the Book
I'm working on the future, instead of being caught up in where I am today. - Roy Daniels
You know, people give things like greed and wrath a bad rap. Sure, they’ll cause plenty of folks to make some poor, shortsighted decisions, but in the end they lack staying power. Now love, on the other hand, love is in a whole different category. Love is what can truly turn people into demons.
Don't sully your future trying to save your past.
Sooner or later, the world is going to have to learn not to fuck with the people I love. Might as well be today.
It is not cowardice to turn from a path you know in your heart is wrong for you. It is rather a sign of great bravery.
I’m dying, Campbell, not sick. Sick is where you have to follow the rules; dying means you get to enjoy the last bits of your life while you have them.
Respect that you've earned is better than mindless adoration.
Comfort was important. Kindness was vital. And showing empathy for those in pain was what made humans human. Still, sometimes the only way to makes thing better was to stand up, and swing. To fight back until there was no one left standing.
You had the look of a man who'd let himself be dragged into hell before he'd let go of something that mattered to him.
If you can't find a solution, then you have to make do with the shitty options in front of you.
Sick is where you have to follow the rules; dying means you get to enjoy the last bits of your life while you have them.
Never in my life have I even once expected the government to act with speed or courage,
Death isn’t a luxury heroes are permitted.
For some, this place was an oasis, an unspoiled area of nature and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. For others, it was a prison, and the moment they could they fled to a bigger city, talking about their small town as though they’d escaped purgatory itself.

About the book
The final year at Lander has finally arrived for the Melbrook students and their peers, and with it comes a whole new set of challenges. Still reeling from the events of their junior year, the remaining students will have to push past their pain - and so much more - if they hope to be one of the ten to claim the title of Hero upon graduation.
Constant tests and trials await the senior students. Beyond simulated missions and classes, they’ll also have to buckle down to learn about agents, prospective teams, internships, and other seemingly endless elements of being a Hero.
For some, however, the classroom is only one aspect of the trouble that lies ahead. Long-buried secrets have been unearthed; old mysteries are finally unraveling; and what lies at the center of it all has the potential to rock the realm of Heroes to its very foundation.
