Not since I read Oliver Sacks' non-fiction book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat, have I read such an eye-opening account
of how a traumatic brain injury can change a person’s personality. In Mr. Robespierre’s fictional account of the same medical
phenomena, a battle ensues between the two emerging personalities, making The Vampire Doesn’t Live Here Anymore an entertaining
mystery and one that begs the question, can you have ever know what lies deep in your memory bank and realize who you are?

I’m cracking up reading your book. You transport the spectrum from boring normalcy to I dunno what planet you be on.

This is a very peculiar, interesting story. Best believe at the ending I heaved a long sigh—like, ‘one has to be totally nuts to write this’ kind of sigh. I was left with a wow.
The terminologies used by Gerry and Bern are the highlights of the book, interesting and totally crazy. Readers would surely think the same. The ending was also impressive, I didn’t realize when it came to an end and I found myself wondering just what was to happen next. That cliffhanger ending is just great—wicked—but great.
Who would’ve thought living the COVID life while simultaneously trying to satisfy sexual urges held this much adventure? Well, it does.
Great writing

We all walk on eggshells, afraid the wrong word or deed will provoke anger and harm the relationship we have with our kids.
We all suffer heartaches watching sibling rivalry tear apart our families.
We all endure sleepless nights spent wondering why they don’t call, share, show that they care.
The book will open your eyes. Teach you life lessons and most importantly, give you mindfulness.
Challenge you to examine relationships, and help you accept the one thing we all have in common, human frailty. Provide hope. If other parents can deal with these problems, so can you.
Robespierre has also given us a book full of humor. Most of it is at our own expense, but as someone once said, every survival kit should include a sense of humor.
How do you talk to a 34-year-old ‘child’ about work, relationships, love and sex? This book helps with real stories
from parents like you -- and loads of good humor.

Distance from your children is the only common denominator that will keep you sane—or not.
I can feel the pain and maybe see a glimpse of light for parents who are interviewed in this book.
Kudos to Eric Robespierre, who was able to get these parents to talk so openly and honestly about their relationships,
and for his insight and humor on this important topic.

Insightful, poignant and funny. From childhood to adulthood, represents real parental path experiences
that can bring you to your knees or raise you to the top of the mountain. Regardless, of your direction,
this a book of reality coaching that all parents should take to heart.
