it was a paperback novel I got at the local supermarket. it was between 92-95. that store had quite a run of getting really interesting paperbacks in. they got the hot blood series, and a lot of other horror anthologies. there was one called tomorrow bites about futuristic werewolf stories, and it had a story in it about this online role playing game that is a blueprint for the world of warcrafts and everquests out there now. it was really cool. anyway, about this novel. the plot is there's a guy who doesn't like the sunlight. he gets a job as a late night dj and one night he gets attacked by supernatural beings. he has to go on the run and he gets introduced into an Underworld type world. it turns out he's a kind of hybrid, like blade, where he's half vampire. all the strengths, none of the weaknesses, etc. he remembers back to something he'd blocked out, where he came upon dracula, who'd been attacked and was too weak to attack the guy, so he hypnotized him into giving him a transfusion. and that gave the guy the vampiric powers. it was a decent little novel. it probably only had a paperback run. it had a lot of dumb punny humor in it, like the author couldn't decide if he really wanted to take the material seriously or not. ring any gothic steeple bells?
