About The Book
Where Hotel Transylvania and Bad Guys meet How to Babysit a Grandpa—a monstrously fun bedtime tale collection.
A collection of 5-minute bedtime tales featuring classic, wel-known monsters, a perfect read-aloud Halloween book, and a great gift for anyone wanting laughs with their scares.
This is your warning!
This book contains Count Dracula’s memoirs. And as you would expect, there are plenty of hideous creatures in it—giant yetis, insidious werewolves, slimy fish monsters, zombies, mummies—even Dr. Jekyll.
Maybe you shouldn’t read it!
You might learn things you didn’t know about monsters before. Hair-raising things that make these monsters appear ... friendly ... even downright human. So, take my advice. Put the book down and move on before you get caught in its clutches.
Sincerely,
Van Helsing

Raves and Reviews
Giggles more likely than shivers in this over-the-top tale.
– Kirkus Reviews
Great story, adorable illustrations! The characters are so relatable. Very witty, smartly written. The book itself is published very well, nice quality paper. Perfect for Halloween and all year round.
– Elina Enken
This has Dracula (looking like a bat) watching his three grandkids for two days. [...] Dracula starts telling them his adventures with each of the characters. There is a yeti that likes to dance, his first pet (a fish that becomes something much more), an invisible man, a giant spider, and a werewolf. Throughout his life he was also chased by his archenemy.
The story is so cute, dialogue witty and fun, and I just melted over the fantastic artwork! This is so adorable and clever! It's just one of the best books for kids! You will be reading this a great deal or, if they are old enough, they will read it over and over!
Perfect gift giving idea too!
