Draculand

De: Steve McElhenny

Narrado por: Sam Legg

When entrepreneur Edward Henning builds a horror-based theme park deep in the heart of Transylvania, little does he realize that his new business partner is, in fact, a centuries-old vampire. As the blood-thirsty vampire anticipates the arrival of the thousands of tourists to his land, he soon learns that the modern world is a far scarier place than the one he is used to. The vampire becomes a nervous wreck, as he has to endure the perils of the internet, drunken employees, health and safety inspections, crooked business partners, and even the Thai-Bride of Frankenstein.

Draculand is a roller coaster of laughs and horrors, in a fun-filled ride that you will not want to get off.
