Straight Outta Fangton is a Dark Fantasy Urban Fantasy series by C.T. Phipps which takes place in The United States of Monsters series. It is a Affectionate Parody of the genre verging on horror comedy where everyone is a smartass familiar with monster tropes and movies but serious crimes occur.Peter Stone is a poor black vampire who has been exiled from the vampire-run city New Detroit. Forced to work in a convenience store, he finds himself frequently drug into conflicts among the city's undead as well as conspiracies against the vampire race by the Fantastic Racism-suffering public.The books are notable for being a World of Snark set in a Broken Masquerade world where vampires have revealed themselves after the 2008 housing crisis. They live in the revitalized city of New Detroit, which they have turned into a massive tourist trap. Not all vampires are wealthy, though. Most of them are actually quite poor, as only the leadership has access to the vast fortune they've made exploiting vampire tourism. The series deals with class issues, race, and also Lighter and Softer depictions of vampires (which is revealed to be an in-universe ploy by vampires to exploit the public).The books in the series so far are:

Undeathly Pallor: Averted with Peter and Thoth who are both visibly African American and African Haitan men. Played straight with Enil who is bone white but states he was born in South Africa... six thousand years ago. Notably, he Looks Like Orlok too.

Non-Heteronormative Society: Vampires equate blood with sex and sex with blood so all of them eventually become bisexual/pansexual. They also polyamorous and keep harems of mortals for feeding purposes, at least the rich and powerful ones.

Living Forever Is Awesome
 Straight Outta Fangton / int_1beef720
comment
Living Forever Is Awesome: The Old Ones live unlives of decadent hedonism funded by vast wealth they've accumulated. However, most of the Old Ones are secretly hiding some tragic secret and overcompensating. The Ancient Ones are so old and jaded they don't care about anything. They don't quite get to the point of Who Wants to Live Forever? but vampirism isn't particularly awesome either. Youngbloods, by contrast, can go either way as they haven't yet come to terms with their immortality.

Afrofuturism
 Straight Outta Fangton / int_2123cbe8
comment
Afrofuturism: Peter Stone's status as a black vampire is routinely dealt with and gives him a perspective on both regular prejudice, classicism, and culture as contrasted to the Fantastic Racism as well as vampire tropes (Vampires Are Rich, Vampires Are Sex Gods) which don't fit his experience. He routinely fights the government, hate groups, the religious right, and white vampires from previous centuries.

Immortality Immorality: This is apparently a major contribution to the evil of vampires.

Romantic Vampire Boy: The trope is mercilessly mocked by the protagonists. It is stated that vampires use it as a way to get close to victims and discourage hunters by pretending to be less dangerous than they are.

Noble Demon: About the best you can expect from any vampire who hits the Old One age category. They become jaded to humanity and treat humans (along with other supernaturals) as decidedly lesser beings. On the other hand, some maintain some sense of chivalry and nobless oblige. Others don't.

Religious Vampire: Thoth is a Voodoo priest despite the fact vampires are explicitly harmed by religious symbols and invocations. Thoth explains that he is fully aware of the contradiction and that it is why it is doubly important to feel that way. He later mentions a Noodle Incident where he escaped hell thanks to his patrons. Melissa is also still a Southern Baptist despite them explicitly condemning vampires.

Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness
 Straight Outta Fangton / int_97bc51a8
comment
Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness: The series' vampires sit squarely in the middle of the friendliness road. They don't need to kill when they feed, infect only people they choose, and can even feast on animal blood with difficulty. They are, however, mostly amoral with the best any vampire over the age of 100 getting is to be a Noble Demon. Every vampire also suffers from a Horror Hunger and blood tastes so good that every vampire is, by nature, addicted to it. They're also all damned by God according to Thoth. Peter Stone is a very friendly vampire (comparitively) and so is Gerard Saint Croix from the The Bright Falls Mysteries but Thoth is a Noble Demon while other vampires are just pure evil.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Straight Outta Fangton / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires are divided into three categories of Youngbloods, Old Ones, and Ancient Ones. Youngbloods suffer most of the traditional weaknesses of vampires, Old Ones can ignore most of them while being unkillable save by another vampire, and Ancient Ones are hideous Nosferatu-looking creatures who are closer to gods than men. They can have children and these children have a chance of manifesting shifter traits or coming back as a vampire when they die. They are also linked to demons as apparently they were created when ancient demons shared their blood.

Graff Yorga is a centuries-old vampire who dresses like a Classical Movie Vampire who speaks with a thick Romanian accent while working at a fast food restaurant.

Kiss of the Vampire
 Straight Outta Fangton / int_bd2de2d7
comment
Kiss of the Vampire: A vampire bite is apparently so pleasurable that both vampires and humans find it to be akin to one long drawn out orgasm. This notably makes the newly-turned monogamous heterosexual Peter Stone uncomfortable even as other vampires gleefully indulge in it.

Horror Hunger: All vampires have this but it actually lessens with age with Ancients only needing a little bit of blood to sustain themselves. Any vampire, no matter how moral, will feed on anyone if they go for too long without feeding though—including on children. Vampires refer to it as the Need.

Vampire Procreation Limit
 Straight Outta Fangton / int_e9475b38
comment
Vampire Procreation Limit: This is the policy of the Vampire Nation in Straight Outta Fangton by C.T. Phipps. In order to create a new vampire, you have to have permission of the voivode of the area. This is a recent rule, though, because so many humans were turned in the wake of the Reveal. Many of the newly created humans do not adapt well and eventually go feral or commit suicide. This is obviously bad news for their publicity

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Thoth finds this attitude ridiculous but suicide is incredibly common among vampires, particularly after their first kill or the realization the Need will dominate the rest of their unlives to the exclusion of all else. Religious individuals also tend to kill themselves once they realize that vampires really are accursed from God.

Vampire Variety Pack
 Straight Outta Fangton / int_ee6e6038
comment
Vampire Variety Pack: Since the undead of the series were designed by a tabletop game writer so they are a complicated necrology indeed. Youngbloods are the weakest of vampires and designed to reflect vampires that have a lot of weaknesses (verbena, silver, holy items, stakes, sunlight) as well as an almost feral submission to their bloodthirst. They are also usually the slaves of their creators. They are very strong and fast, though. Old Ones are vampires like Count Dracula and wield powers like shapechanging or psychic abilities. Death Is Cheap for them as well with only another Old One or Ancient One able to kill them (or special weapons like the Merlin Gun). The Ancient Ones Looks Like Orlok (or Medusa) and are ancient debased things that lose most of their desire to do anything but wield fantastic powers. They spend most of their time sleeping or living in ruins or they could easily take over the world.
