Cereal - by Mark Russell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"What We Do In the Shadows" meets "Monster Squad" - a dark, distinctly adult--and lovingly funny--take on an earlier generation's beloved monsters.

The Marquis de Cocoa, recently transformed into a vampire, emerges from his castle's crypt to face a deadly ordeal: He must brave the agony of sunrise and host another of the sumptuous breakfast parties he is known for, lest the townsfolk suspect what he has become and drive a stake through his heart. Other abominations--a creature composed of cadaver parts, a specter, a lycanthrope, a leprechaun--arise to threaten dangers of their own in this epic comedy of terror and tragedy.
