Andrew Fox

Who is Andrew Fox?

Andrew Fox is an American author from New Orleans. He has written two comic novels, Fat White Vampire Blues and Bride of the Fat White Vampire. Both novels feature Jules Duchon, a morbidly obese vampire who resides in New Orleans and works as a taxi driver. The humor from both books is derived primarily from the embarrassing or dangerous predicaments that are at odds with the diginified, suave image one normally associates with vampires such as Dracula. In addition, Fox presents a well thought out set of continuity rules that explain traditional vampiric powers. His latest novel, The Good Humor Man, while a satiric homage to Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, still contains elements of horror.

Fox and his family were out-of-state when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. Like most residents, they were displaced by the storm. As part of the recovery efforts, Fox returned to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, a federally funded nutrition program for low-income senior citizens and young families in the New Orleans area operated under the auspices of the Louisiana Office of Public Health, and later worked for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
