A fang-tastically funny, wholly original adventure, featuring black-and-white illustrations by Flavia Sorrentino.
Meet eleven-year-old Kevin Aurelius. He's just like every other kid . . . except he's a vampire, lives in a traveling circus full of zany monsters, and his best friend is a dragon named Brannie.
When Kevin's family's circus, Carnival Monstromo, runs out of money and gets stranded in a boring town full of humans, their only choice is to earn gold by putting on an impromptu show for the town’s residents.
There’s a BIG problem though. Seventy years ago, a scary monster called the You-Know-What destroyed the town and, ever since, they have a strict no-monsters policy. When noise from the circus wakes up the creature, the townspeople are furious at Kevin and his family. Now, the You-Know-What is on the loose and out for blood. Can Kevin and his new friend, a human girl named Susie, stop the monster, and save the town before all is lost?

When Kevin and his family get stuck in a strange town, they accidentally wake up something OLD and VERY HUNGRY. It's up to Kevin to save everyone - or else! The first in a brilliantly funny fantasy adventure series.
Kevin Aurelius is just like any other almost eleven-year-old.
Well, apart from his fangs obviously. And that he's immortal. Oh and did I mention he's a vampire?
Together with his vampire parents and annoying older siblings, Kevin's on his way to Monstros City when, due to dodgy batnav, they get stranded in a strange, quiet place full of humans called Lower Drudging. With empty coffers in need of filling, their only choice is to put on an impromptu carnival to earn the gold they need to get back on their way.
But Lower Drudging has a monstrous secret of its own. A secret that is old, very hungry and has just woken up! It's up to Kevin and his new best friend Susie to save the town - or else!
