Adrian, a former community volunteer forced to become a vampire, has a full suite of terrifying powers: mist-form, regeneration, and charm. But he's bursting with moral scruples, and his abilities are completely out of control.
Whenever he gets embarrassed, he turns to mist and somehow ends up with nothing on but his pants. His healing comes with strange moans, and his charm only scares people away. He's the undisputed king of social disasters.
He's fallen for Sophie, a spacey illustrator who turns monsters into gentle picture books. All he wants is to become an ordinary person again and bask in the sun with her.
But as the city is swept by “Mr. Gray,” a resentment-born monster created by urbanization, Norman Corporation closes in. A clumsy vampire, a gentle girl, and Xiaoqi, a robot with a glitchy operating system, join forces with a group of overworked-monster coworkers, using awkwardness to push back against the world's coldness.
Clumsiness is justice. Under an umbrella is home.
This is a heartwarming story about accepting imperfection and embracing everyone who feels they don't fit in.
