Which means that, even though the parasite makes him extremely horny, he can't kiss anyone, let alone have sex with them. The catch? Although he has some of the characteristics of peeps - namely super strength and an insatiable hunger for meat - he isn't quite as demented as most of them, because he's only a carrier of the disease. The story follows Cal Thompson, a nineteen year old boy who has had the parasite for a year when the novel begins. Scott Westerfeld - who you may know as the author of the Uglies series - somehow manages to make the parasite that affects these peeps semi-realistic, and that's no mean feat. If your immediate reaction to any novels involving vampires is to cringe, I can't exactly blame you, but let me tell you that this science fiction book is nothing like Twilight. Instead, it's an abbreviation for parasite-positive, a term used to describe those who have been infected with vampirism. "Are you saying that your fat-ass cat has turned me into a vampire?"ĭon't let the title fool you Peeps is not about those delicious marshmallow chicks they sell around Easter time, and the word 'peeps' doesn't act as an abbreviation for people either.
