Evidently Dracula is also a stress baker. Oni Press has announced the new graphic novel Dracula’s Brunch Club, from writer Brian Gonsar and Keenan Gaybba. Designed to be spooky, but not scary, Brian Gonsar wanted to create a series that was spooky, for those kids who didn’t necessarily like being scared.
Here’s the synopsis from Oni Press:
Count Dracula is not your average vampire. Well, sure, he’s undead, hates garlic, and will burn up in sunlight––but unlike other vampires, he has a knack for baking. And it’s his brunch club’s famous blood-orange-jelly donuts that give his fellow vampires the energy source they need to live forever. But when Transylvania experiences a mysterious jelly shortage, it allows his nemesis, Constantine, to swoop in and steal the brunch club—and the vampires’ loyalty—from Dracula. But it’s not just jelly donuts at stake. When townsfolk start to go missing, Dracula suspects Constantine has far more sinister motives lurking that could threaten everything vampires and humans have worked for. With the help of his chef and human friend, Elena, Dracula must find a new energy source before every vampire and human turns on him and he loses his coveted brunch club forever.
