Vampires of Blinsh

A newly-arrived vampire in Blinsh, Pinksylvania, bites one resident, and the next night the two bite two more, then the four bite eight until all of Pinksylvania and, perhaps, the world, has been bitten.

In this clever picture book from children's luminary Daniel Pinkwater, vampires multiply in the town of Blinsh…until the entire population is taken over!

This picture book is an account of events which took place in the village of Blinsh, Pinksylvania, during the month of October, when one person getting bit by a vampire begins to multiply until the entire town of Blinsh, Pinksylvania, is taken over. The result is a hilarious, cumulative tale of an outrageous chain of events that has probably resulted in YOU becoming a vampire, too.
