Pine Cove, California is a fictional town that serves as the setting for many of the novels by absurdist fiction writer Christopher Moore. The town seems to be the unfortunate location for many supernatural mishaps, having been invaded by vampires, werewolves, ghost-Indians and, most recently, a sea creature. It appears in his novels The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, Practical Demonkeeping, Bloodsucking Fiends, and Coyote Blue.
