Unfortunately for him, he became a vampire at a pretty awkward and young age of 15.
Due to this, Nigel Mullet will have to spend an eternity in trying to cope with a breaking voice, acne, and the total ineptness with the girls. Nigel Mullet has also mentioned in his excruciatingly humorous and funny diary how he makes increasingly desperate efforts in order to get noticed by his lover named Della Sparrow. He has even described the constant mortification which is caused by his parents, who are also vampires. One of the other important things mentioned by Nigel Mullet in his diary is the frustration that he feels while thinking that he has got the whole of eternity that stretches in a rather boring manner in front of him. Nigel feels that being a wimpy boy is very bad when you know that you are normal. But, it becomes even worse when you turn into a vampire.
