Insatiable by David Dvorkin

"Seduced and killed by a beautiful woman, Richard Venneman woke as a vampire. Because he loathes what he's become, because his irresistible need for human blood horrifies him, he seeks the only salvation he can imagine -- Incinerating himself in the experimental fusion reactor where he worked when he was alive." (from Amazon.com)
