Undeath and Taxes (Fred, the Vampire Accountant)

Drew Hayes' vampire-accountant premise is genuinely inventive within urban-fantasy comedy, and the second book is widely noted as stronger than the first — expanding the world while keeping the reluctant-hero charm intact. Kirby Heyborne's narration is repeatedly cited as central to the series' appeal, his comic timing elevating jokes on the page into something better in your ears. Faith-adjacent listeners may note the occult comedy framing, though the tone is humorous rather than dark.

🎙 Narration: excellent Kirby Heyborne is a highly regarded performer and listeners consistently cite his comic timing as a key reason the series works better in audio than on the page.
