Not Dead

Ulysses is not cool. He's a jerk actually-but at least he knows it-so nobody is more surprised than him when he's chosen to become a vampire. As he learns their history he soon discovers that vampires are nothing at all like Hollywood had him believing, in fact they're pretty much as messed up as humans.
So when he's recruited to join this secret society, he is for the most part a willing (though largely useless) aid to his dry-witted, 800-year-old creator and mentor, Ellison.
Ulysses quickly realises that he may have bitten off more than he can chew when, after being repeatedly belittled by his mentor, he's left feeling frustrated and lonely, and missing his old existence. What began as a simple catch-up with a friend ends in disaster when he accidently takes a life, and the repercussions put both his and Ellison's lives in immediate danger.
