What is the author's style in Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore?

Moore uses language to build his characters. The Emperor speaks in high language, quoting Shakespeare and using archaic phrases. His regal way of speaking contrasts to his humble appearance, adding a comic element to his character and emphasizing his self-appointed role as royalty. Cavuto also is defined by his speech, taking his cue from old detective fiction. He is gay, and so he takes on contrasting speech patterns of manly detectives. The contrast adds humor but also reveals his character's desire to emphasize his masculinity in order to survive as a gay cop.
