Children of the Night (When Monsters Wake Book 1)

A thrilling, spine-chilling YA graphic novel from author Victoria Setian and Bloom artist Savanna Ganucheau—a modern spin on the classic horror novel Dracula.

There’s no one in town stranger than Mina Murray.

An aspiring photographer, Mina has a reputation for hanging around creepy locations in her hometown of New Whitby. Graveyards, crypts, or funeral homes—no place is too weird for her to sneak into. But when a boat named the Demeter crashes on a nearby shore, Mina’s explorations uncover a whole new level of weird: feral dogs, large boxes of dirt, and most notably, the body of the ship’s captain, completely drained of blood.

Shocked by the grisly scene, Mina sets out to unearth the truth behind what happened on the ship. But the deeper she digs, the stranger things get around town. The head editor of her high school’s newspaper goes missing. Her best friend falls ill, plagued by nightmares of a massive, terrifying creature. And the handsome new transfer student, Raf, seems to have everyone under his thrall, including Mina’s crush, Jon.

It’s clear that something ominous is going on, but will Mina be able to figure out who—or what—is the cause? Or is New Whitby doomed to become the hunting ground of this evil forever?

Spine-chilling and inspired by Bram Stoker’s classic novel, Children of the Night is perfect for fans of Squad, Clementine, and Anya’s Ghost.
