Summary
Some people are born boring. Some live boring. Some even die boring. Fred managed to do all three, and when he woke up as a vampire, he did so as a boring one.
Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night - different from the night he died, which was more inconvenient than fateful - Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos of the parahuman world: a world with chipper zombies, truck driver wereponies, maniacal necromancers, ancient dragons, and now one undead accountant trying his best to "survive". Because even after it's over, life can still be a downright bloody mess.

The funniest accountant ever written
Despite the title, this is a highly amusing little tale about 'Fred the Vampire', a rather unfortunate accountant who finds himself dealing with situations that he is rather less than thrilled or equipped to encounter. A delightfully funny and light-hearted story matched perfectly by Mr Heyborn's narration. Certainly one for the bookshelf.

really very interesting
should be noted that this is a collection of short continuous stories which can get annoying since there are recaps at the beginning of each story once you get past that though what you have is an interesting, funny and charming story with lots of cool lore highly recommend

Fantastic
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely, if they were into sci-fi/horror and comedy.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant?
Without wanting to spoil anything.... would have to be the story where he takes down the necromancer cosplayer!
What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Without trying too much (as in, overplaying it to the point of cringeworthiness), he clearly separated the characters' voices and emoted well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, if I had the time!
Any additional comments?
Just an all-round meta-humorous take on the modern vampire story. Really funny in a dry way. Interesting characters and great world-building.

Good but nothing to write home about
I liked the idea, the witt and characters. The world is also interesting. What I liked less was the narator. He is ok but something was not quite fitting. He was a little too blase.

This was pretty decent but nothing spectacular.
This book isn't going to set your world alight or revolutionise the genre for you. It is a fun romp with some decent characters and I enjoyed it.
A lot of reviews mentioned the start of chapter summations as being annoying and they are. You don't need a summary of all the previous chapters when you start a new one. It's not that bad but it was a bit annoying.
The narration was decent too. I thought it was good all round.

Far from uninteresting or unadventurous.
As usual, Drew takes the Genre seriously enough to make it come alive while playing with amd sometimes upending it's conventions.
