The famed vampire rabbit that's haunted children for over 𒉰40 years will return in a new format this summer. Simon & Schuster's kids imprint has announced Bunnicula: The Graphic Novel, which adapts the first book in the classic chil🍰dren's novel series by Deborah Howe and James Howe.
After Toby Monroe finds a rabbit in the movie theater during a screening of Draculaꩵ, he bri💦ngs it home and his family adopts it. They name the rabbit Bunnicula, because of his origins, and it becomes an oddly fitting name in more ways than one.
The family dog, Harold, and the family cat, Chester, become increasingly convinced that Bunnicula is actually a vampire. As it turns out, Bunnicula does have fangs, but he just uses themꦑ to suck the juice out of vegetab🅷les; he's hardly a blood drinker.
Bunnicula: The Grapღhic Noveꦓl will be available August 30.
