Bunnicula Series

by James and Deborah Howe

This beloved middle-grade comic horror series is narrated by a family dog who becomes convinced that the family's new pet rabbit is actually a vampire — a suspicion that the household cat takes considerably more seriously. The series is funny, gentle, and written for younger readers, playing its supernatural premise entirely for warmhearted comedy rather than genuine fright.
