"I loved McGrane's self-published mini-comics about Dragoslava and their gang of vampire kids, so I was excited to dig into the author's full-length graphic novel debut. I wasn't disappointed! The Accursed Vampire is perfect for fans of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Steven Universe, mixing classic vampire and magical lore with a sweet story of found family. I can't wait to see what our small vampire pals get up to next."

Description


*Named a Rainbow Book List Title*

A spooky and funny graphic novel perfect for fans of The Witch Boy and Real Friends

Dragoslava is a vampire kid. It has its perks, but sometimes being stuck as a kid forever can be a pain in the neck. And that’s not even the worst part. A few centuries ago, Drago was cursed by a witch. If they don’t complete every task she sets, they will be turned into worms.

When the witch wants a spellbook from Baneberry Falls, Drago sets off with their immortal friends. But mysteries await in this sleepy Midwestern town, and Drago must figure out if the keepers of the spellbook have a hidden agenda, like everyone else they’ve ever known.

One thing’s for sure: after this accursed mission, Drago’s immortal life will never be the same again!
