title: The Vanishing Vampire: A Monsterrific Tale (Monsterrific Tales)
author:  David Lubar 
description: Like Hyde and Shriek (2013), this second Monsterrific Tale weighs the goods and bads of having supernatural powers in a tale told from the monsters point of view. Here young Sebastian is just nipped by a vampire and acquires a deep thirst along with highly enhanced strength and senses. Fortunately, the effect turns out to be temporary. Unfortunately, while searching for a way to become human again, he has to face challenges ranging from his mothers garlic bread to the arrival of a vampire hunter. Horror of the very mildest sort. Grades 3-6. --John Peters
