For the next three weeks, Dragoslava the vampire is stuck at a summer camp for witches, where no one wants to be their friend and the campers are mysteriously disappearing.All of Dragoslava's friends have something to do at summer camp-teaching "living kids" magic, fighting latrine goblins, crafting spells, and rehearsing for the play-but Drago doesn't fit in or know how to join the fun. The living kids either think they're scary or treat them like a baby. Despite rumors about missing campers, Drago decides to wander off alone, leading to an unexpected reunion with the old spell book belonging to Velmira, the witch they are apprenticed to. Parch the spell book has a new human body and feels as out of place as Drago but is determined to remain a person at any cost. In this second volume of the Accursed Vampire series, McGrane brews a summer camp mystery with an enchanting balance of impish but honest humor and strong themes of friendship and self-discovery. All the characters, including the antagonists, have complex relationships that impact their decisions and character growth. Abundant irreverent witchery, brought to life through quirky character design and a vibrant palette of contrasting shades, keeps the tone playful. A meticulous trail of clues, flashbacks, and scenes that shift the narrative focus between multiple characters build suspense and momentum. The art reflects racial diversity and casual queerness in the world around pale, bald Dragoslava.Mischievously magical. (sketches) (Graphic paranormal adventure. 8-12)
In the sequel to middle grade graphic novel The Accursed Vampire, Drago and their vampire buds head to Witch Camp for a summer of spells and magic…but what they find is far more sinister!
It’s summertime and Drago, Eztli, and Quintus are heading to witch camp, where they'll learn spells and magic alongside human kids.
Drago is skeptical about this joint venture with the living, but as long as their vampire pals are with them, how bad could it be?
Pretty bad, actually. Eztli and Quintus end up making friends with the campers while Drago stumbles onto an abandoned mini golf course housing a sinister supernatural entity with intentions of overtaking the camp.
Drago may not like camp, but they can't leave their buds in danger. What will they do?
