Let me tell you what it was to be made vampire. It wasnt birth. Birth implies pushing, tearing forth into the light, screaming. Becoming immortal was to be pulled, to be tugged irrevocably into darkness, and it was silent.I should have fought, any person should fight, but my mind had been filled with a hazy calm which forbade any battle. Struggling had been the last thing on my mind, even when my bus arrived and my assailant waved it on, dismissing my last hope of escape.Yet my lack of rebellion was far from the most unsettling part of the strangers control over me. The truth was that the man couldve asked anything of me and I wouldve complied, but he didnt need to vocalise his request. I knew instinctively what he wanted. I sighed and surrendered myself as he held me against his front in a lovers embrace, tipping my head and willingly giving him access to my throat."One day youll understand," he whispered, his tone subdued. Ive often wondered since if he was really talking to me. Perhaps hed been talking to himself, persuading himself that one day Id know and accept his reasons for what hed planned for me.I wouldnt. I couldnt. Because when my fangs came in, my world altered irrevocably. It became somewhere dark, somewhere filled with murder and blood, where magic was sinister and where even my closest ally seemed more like an enemy... Even if he did make my heart skip a beat.

In the profoundly average city of Mediocrity Heights, there exists a superteam-not born of greatness, destiny, or radioactive mishap, but because the mayor needed a public distraction that cost less than road repairs. Meet The Ineptibles:Drizzle, who can summon light mist (whether you asked for it or not).Mood Swing, shifting emotions by 2-3% on a good day.Sir Whistleton, whistling any tune with world-class dramatic flair.Miss Direction, who slightly confuses your sense of direction.Bouncer, able to bounce once per hour-and never quietly.

Perfect for fans of The Tick, Good Omens, and superhero comedies that dont take themselves too seriously.
