PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

Kyle is starting to sound less like a typical frat boy.
And more like a psycho who wants to be a special snowflake, right?
As in one who thinks he DESERVES to be better than everyone else on campus by being a werewolf and that you're lucky to be brought into the fold.
I have a feeling that the hunt is part of Charlie's full initiation.
These boys have know idea who they decided to make a meal of.
Ok first we put some heavy foods into them and now we make them run like mad before we eat them. Getting the juices flowing makes them taste better.
Well Dill is not old enough yet to count as the "fourth stupid frat boy." After ten years he will be there, assuming that he lives that long.
I can really see Kyle's point of view (so far). I think that your stereotypical tourist is way lame; go on vacation for the adventure story, not for the cheap toys!
And, yeah, monopolizing the conversation is not PC, but he's got a good story to tell. He just shouldn't ask questions that he doesn't want to know the answers to IMHO.
"Which was probably fine by Kyle, who was obviously deeply in love with his own voice."
Best line ever. His story would be pretty cool, and almost respectable, if it didn't end with: "Oh well. So I'm gonna eat you now."
This could be Dill's incentive to get his grades up, so one day he can graduate and go to college to become a stupid frat boy.
By now, I'd worry less about getting bitten and becoming a werewolf than getting bitten and becoming a stupid frat boy. Kyle, Jon, and Chubbs don't seem like they were that great to start out.
Todd -
He's actually quite extra-ordinary in some ways...not in particularly GOOD ways, but still far above average.
Mary -
...the psycho/snowflake comment? EXACTLY. Couldn't have put it better myself.
It is kind of cool that the jerks have no idea what their prey has faced down before, isn't it?
Peter and Dill are kind of helpless little badasses, in a way.
daymon34 -
...sigh...you have absolutely NO faith in Dill, do you?
Um the Muse -
Ha ha! I like the fact that you can pick out the admittedly good taste Kyle has from the psycho routine...
But he's not just monopolizing the conversation. He really, seriously doesn't give a damn about anybody else at the table except himself. Everybody else is just a pawn in the game that is "Kyle."
Rai -
Thank you! Though it's not an original line, I really do feel it describes him to a 't.'
Fiona -
Ha ha! And once he gets there, he can drink and party all the time and let his grades sink back to his 4th grade levels!
Todd -
Oh, they're horrible. A sociopath, a bitter underling, and a dimwitted sycophant. Good times.
I think it's more that Dill listens to his hormones more than his head. That's just the way frat boys are. He could grow out of it before then.
Then again hanging around Peter and almost getting killed every few weeks could chase that out of him in a real hurry.
And Charlie - the wimp who knows better but doesn't have the courage to stand up for himself or others.
