Overview
Shhh! Did you hear that?
Something is in the bakery. Chomping. Chewing. Licking its lips. Baring its sharp, gleaming teeth. Black wings, purple cloak, glowing eyes and…
Wait a second…is that a…giraffe?!
It’s dinner time, and Giracula is hungry. But don’t worry, your necks are safe—he can’t stand the sight of blood. Maybe something with a bit more sugar?
Grab your fangs and go batty with Giracula, a long-necked vampire with a love of dessert, and the star of our first title in the Bump In the Night Halloween series.
Just in time for the spookiest season comes the story of how a bite led to a string of bakery crimes. Hide your pies, tarts, and cakes because this vampire has a taste for treats!
Halloween just got a little bit sweeter. Look for the second installment in the Bump In the Night series, Frogenstein, coming Halloween 2020.
