Okay, I know what youre thinking, but lets get one thing straight: No. Im not a vampire. I mean, yes, I rely on blood to sustain my part-human, semi-immortal lifestyle, but thats as far as it goes, alright?

For the dead man talking, each death is only a new beginning as long as someone can be relied upon to donate enough blood to bring him back to life. But its hard to fit in when youre legally dead, and a youth marred by constant reinventions has made relationships and employment seem futile. Unable to gain a foothold in the real world, he begins to question what it means to be human, to be a monster, and to exist.

Offering a fresh and frequently hilarious take on immortality, Dead Man Talking is the story of one man's many lives: from a hedonistic quest to determine whether pleasure alone can bring fulfilment, to a wayward journey of discovery with the self-styled King of the Goths. At the point of giving up, he finally comes to understand the meaning of life but nothing is without cost, and his genetics will not allow him to escape his fate.
