Betsy the Vampire Queen, properly known as the Undead series, is an Urban Fantasy book series by MaryJanice Davidson about Betsy Taylor. Betsy loses her job and is killed in the same day (her 30th birthday), but awakes undead in a funeral home. After attempting multiple times to kill herself, Betsy realizes that she is a vampire — not only a vampire, but queen of the vampires.The series is a humorous jab at many popular vampire stereotypes. While the vampires are played completely serious, Betsy's bubbly personality takes the wind out of their sails.The books are, in chronological order: Undead and Unwed (2004) Undead and Unemployed (2004) Undead and Unappreciated (2005) Undead and Unreturnable (2006) Undead and Unpopular (2006) Undead and Uneasy (2007) Undead and Unworthy (2008) Undead and Unwelcome (2009) Undead and Unfinished (2010) Undead and Undermined (2011) Undead and Unstable (2012) Undead and Unsure (2013) Undead and Unwary (2014) Undead and Unforgiven (2015) Undead and Done (2016)The series is now complete. |

Answers to the Name of God |
| | Betsy the Vampire Queen / int_22cfbf14 |
comment |
Answers to the Name of God: A running gag. Vampires cannot bear to hear Christ's name or any prayer, as it causes them physical pain. Betsy's tendency to take the Lord's name in vain is therefore unfortunate given her relationship with the vampire Sinclair. So every time she exclaims, "Jesus Christ!" Sinclair winces and says, "I've asked you not to call me that." |

Stable Time Loop: Over the course of Undead and Unfinished, Betsy becomes part of several. Subverted near the end, when she meets her evil future self. The future self acts like this is the case at first... and then Betsy completely deviates from her future self's memories, throwing her off. The timeline is now completely shot to hell. |

Your Vampires Suck |
| | Betsy the Vampire Queen / int_3e06b5c7 |
comment |
Your Vampires Suck: How Betsy reacts to the Nostro dominated vampires of the world. Amusingly, Betsy is largely a traditional vampire with a stake through the heart immobilizing her and sunlight making her fall asleep. It's other vampires who are more traditional Hollywood Vampires with massive weaknesses to sunlight and holy items. |

Tome of Eldritch Lore: The Book of the Dead, again. The reason Betsy doesn't just speed-read it and know everything? Reading more than two or three pages at a time turns you into a monstrous Jerkass. This might seem minor, except that when you turn a vampire into a jerkass... (In Betsy's case, it involved nearly killing Jessica.) |

Wicked Stepmother |
| | Betsy the Vampire Queen / int_b070362d |
comment |
Wicked Stepmother: Antonia Taylor, Betsy's stepmother. She pursued a married man, destroying his marriage, and tried to turn him against his then-teenaged daughter. She wanted him to surrender full custody to his ex-wife, and when that failed, to send Betsy to military school. Her efforts continued into Betsy's thirties, when after Betsy's funeral, she eats a celebratory lobster dinner and books a cruise. She is even, at one point in the backstory, possessed by Lucifer for a year, and no one notices because she's so nasty by nature. In Undead and Unworthy After her death, The Ant comes back to haunt Betsy as a ghost because during life, her sole purpose was to torment Betsy. Part of this new torment includes walking in on Betsy and her husband during lovemaking, and making no apology or attempt to leave. |
