[ID: A book cover. The title of the series “Stake Sauce” is written at the top in large red capitals. The author’s name “RoAnna Sylver” is written directly below this, lower right, in smaller red capitals. The title of the book “Arc 1: The Secret Ingredient Is Love. No, Really” is written at the bottom of the cover in slightly smaller red capitals. The background shows a black wall like surface against a brown wall. There is a hand rising behind and resting on the wall. The skin is grey, with long, black nails. There is a black bracelet with metal spikes on the rest. Various stickers can be seen on the wall. These stickers, from left to right, are: a small yellow crescent moon, a coffee stained yellow sign with black letters that reads “This Machine Kills Fascists”, the letters appear to have been cut out and stuck on individually, a small white skull and crossbones, the rainbow pride flag, and a black “A” on a red circular sticker. /end]

Summary:

ARC 1, IN WHICH: A cute punk-rock vampire and a disabled firefighter-turned-mall-cop with a dark past join forces to battle the forces of evil.

Jude used to leap out of helicopters to rescue/protect people from terrifying infernos. Now, by day, he protects the local mall from rowdy teenagers who ride their skateboards inside. By night, he protects the the parking lot, and the rest of Portland, from undead, bloodsucking creatures of the darkness. Or would if he could find them.

Pixie refuses to bite anyone. Assault/murder/draining fluids isn’t punk, even if being a vampire really kind of is. He’s very hungry by now, and the much bigger, meaner, deadlier vamps kick him around on the nightly. Jude would love to find and fight some actual undead bullies. And Pixie could use some help staying… ‘alive.’ Time to make a deal.

Of course, life still sucks when you’re a vampire who refuses to suck blood. Fortunately, there’s a really interesting new barbecue restaurant in the mall, with an intriguing new recipe. (They say the secret ingredient is… love. No, really.)

Ahh, urban vampires~~

Do you know how many times I’ve seen almost that exact “this machine kills fascists” sticker on mobility aids? Incredible.

Sylver seems to have quite the tendency to write LGBTQ+ and disabled books. I’ve linked her website above in case you’re interested in checking them out.
