Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires is a 2020 horror novel by Grady Hendrix, pitched as Steel Magnolias meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.The book takes place in The '90s and follows Patricia, a doctor's wife and dissatisfied stay-at-home mom in Charlestown. She and a few of her neighbors grow bored of the existing book club in town which focusses exclusively on high-brow literature and form a new one focussed on True Crime content. Later, she is attacked one night by the old woman who lives down the street and gets her ear bitten off.The attack followed the appearance of James, a charismatic young man who claims to be a relative of said neighbor. He quickly earns the favor of many people in town, but Patricia starts to lose trust in him. He has quite a sum of money, but it's all in cash, and rarely goes out in the daytime. At the same time, mysterious disappearances and suicides start plaguing the town's poorer neighborhoods. From there, she begins to suspect that he is a vampire, and she enlists her book club of other Charlestown moms to help her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When James realizes that the Book Club really is going to dismember him, he starts trying to get them to let him go by arguing that his existence is a miracle and offering them the secret to his immortality. They don't listen to him.

Alternative Character Interpretation: An In-Universe example with Maryellen's take on The Bridges of Madison County, where she sees Robert Kincaid as a cunning predator rather than a romantic lead.

And I Must Scream: Even after decapitating, dismembering, disemboweling James, and driving nails through his eyes, he still is producing blood. He's still alive, and will likely be stuck like that until he's gone a year without drinking blood.

Aerith and Bob: Like My Best Friend's Exorcism, there are "normal" names like Patricia, Kitty, Bobby, Grace, and James — but there is also a Slick (one of Patricia's book club friends) and Kitty's husband is called Horse.
