Synopsis
The “[b]y turns chilling and funny” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) second book in the bestselling and award-winning Bunnicula series is now a spooky graphic novel that will send a shiver down your spine and leave you howling with laughter!
The Monroes have gone on vacation, leaving Harold, Chester, and Bunnicula at Château Bow-Wow—not exactly a four-star hotel. On the animals’ very first night there, the silence is pierced by a peculiar wake-up call—an unearthly howl that makes Chester observe that the place should be called…Howliday Inn.
But the mysterious cries in the night (Chester is convinced there are werewolves afoot) are just the beginning of the frightening goings-on. Soon, animals start disappearing, and there are whispers of murder. Is check-out time at Château Bow-Wow going to come earlier than Harold and Chester anticipated?
