Items related to Hogula: Dread Pig of Night
Look out! Hogula is a vampire pig on the loose. Every night he roams the city, snorting the necks of people who are up past their bedtimes and putting them into a deep piggie snooze. Life is high-on-the-hog for this porcine fiend. And yet, something is missing: Hogula is lonely.
One stormy night, Hogula hears a knock on his door. A mysterious girl named Elvis Ann has tracked him down, and Hogula can't wait to snort her into a deep piggie snooze. But Elvis Ann is no ordinary mortal...Hogula soon discovers that he's met his match--and perhaps even found a new friend.
This clever spoof is ideal for Halloween or any time of year.

"He snorts, you snooze! Beware Hogula, Dread Pig of Night..."
About the Author:
Brought to life by the comical, exaggerated illustrations of Jean Gralley (And Twelve Chinese Acrobats), this particular vampire pig can send anyone who's up past bedtime into a "deep, snoring, piggie-snoozie snooze" with just a snort from his snout. But Hogula has a problem: this fangful hog has no friends. Sure, his two servants Igoretta ("Pleasure, I'm sure") and Chad ("Uhhhhhhh") and several hundred thousand bats keep him company in his garbage-filled castle atop Grimy Pork Chop Hill. But he doesn't have a friend to talk with, to play with, to--"except for his bats"--hang with. That all changes when he takes a trip to the mall on Halloween night, decked out in his vampire best and triple-flipping to the delight of all in sight. A lone red-cloaked figure spots Hogula and understands his friendless plight; this little girl is so weird she just might be Hogula's perfect match.
Not quite the inspired hilarity of anything by Jon Scieszka or Dav Pilkey, but a worthy, wacky writing debut for illustrator Gralley, good for more than a few bedtime snorts. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
