About This Book

What if the scariest vampire you meet is actually a friendly veggie lover who’s more scared of blood than you are? Imagine stumbling into Transylvania by accident and meeting Count Alucard, a vampire who’s nothing like the legends say. But when the villagers get frightened, can Henry Hollins and his new friend change their minds before trouble starts?
