I Was A Brooding Teenage Vampire by Demitri Mitchell

This was a refreshing vampire read for a change....lol.  It was a complete satire and farce of what all these weepy, teenage vampire books out now are all about.  Poor Demitri is a teenage vampire that feels like his life is pointless.  He goes to school, meets a girl who is uncontrollably drawn to him, they have sex, she has an accident of some sort that draws blood, he dismembers her, drains her blood, burns down her house and moves to another town.  He can't help himself.  It happens over and over and over.  Finally he meets Alina and something is different.  She wants nothing to do with him and he is obsessed with her.  But she has a stalker who is a vampire hunter.  Of course, he has a stalker too.  It is just one silly situation after another with everyone stalking everyone else and all sorts of teenage angst.  It was pretty silly and funny and a great change of pace.  There are vague references to different books and movies and it was a short, quick read.
