Nighty-Nightmare; Return to Howliday Inn; Bunnicula Strikes Again!; Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow

De: James Howe

Narrado por: Victor Garber, Patrick Mulvihill

NIGHTY-NIGHTMARE: Are Harold, Howie, and Chester simply lost in the woods with Dawg, their strange new friend? Or have they been lured away from their campsite intentionally, leaving the Monroes at the mercy of evil spirits? Lulling Dawg to sleep with a bedtime story may be their only hope of escaping—but is the hare-raising tale of the origins of Bunnicula, the vampire bunny, really a bedtime story?

RETURN TO HOWLIDAY INN: The Monroes have gone on vacation, once again leaving Harold, Chester, and Howie at Chateau Bow-Wow. The motley crew of boarders may have changed, but the creepy goings-on at Howliday Inn have not. A ghostly voice, buried bones, and a collar with the name “Rosebud” on it suggest that murder may have been added to the services offered at the kennel.

BUNNICULA STRIKES AGAIN!: It seems that Bunnicula is back to his old ways—or so Chester thinks, having found pale vegetables drained of their juices scattered about the kitchen. Can Harold let Chester get away with hurting an innocent bunny, no matter what his harebrained suspicions are?When the Monroes notice Bunnicula’s weakened condition and rush him to the vet, the chase is on, ending with a dramatic confrontation in a most unusual (and dangerous) location.

BUNNICULA MEETS EDGAR ALLAN CROW: Pete has just won a contest, and the prize is a school visit from none other than M. T. Graves, Pete’s idol and the bestselling author of the FleshCrawlers series. But Chester the cat is suspicious. Especially worrisome to him: In each of the FleshCrawlers books, something bad always happen to the pets…. It’s up to the gang to find out if M. T. Graves and his beady-eyed Edgar Allan Crow are really devising a plot to make their beloved bunny . . . NEVERMORE!

Great for any age!

I started this series as a child, I’m 30 now and still enjoy them. The narration is wonderful and the characters and plots innocent and unmarred from the evils of the world. I will share them with my own kids some day.

Such fun for our family!

If you could sum up The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4-7 in three words, what would they be?

Funny, entertaining and intelligent! These books are a riot, with jokes aimed at parents that still have enough humor that my 6 year old can identify to make them fun for all of us!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bunnicula Collection: Books 4-7?

Definitely the staking the zombie-vampire vegetables with toothpicks!

Have you listened to any of Victor Garber and Patrick Mulvihill ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've only heard Victor Garber before--Patrick Mulvhill was okay, but I missed Victor Garber's Howie in book 7.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would cheerfully listen to one of the three stories all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Definitely a great production for a family in need of some road trip entertainment!

bunnicula

is a adventures and thrilling tale of a vampire bunny 🐇, named BUNNICULA!!! this is a good book for kids who like bunnies and mysteries.

The most emotionally charged books in the series.

I grew up with, at least, the first 5 Bunnicula books when I was in 4th or 5th grade. Years later when I first heard my mom laughing while listening to Victor Garber's reading of the first book, I really wanted to read the rest of the series and, in my opinion, "Bunnicula Strikes Again" & "Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow" with the former being the darkest chapter with the most optimistic conclusion & an end to a long time rivalry & the latter being a perfect conclusion to the book series. Victor Garber was the absolute best person to provide the voice for this book series. The characterizations he gives to each character feels spot on, & I can practically see them in my mind's eye. Patrick Mulvihill is harder to get used to, & doesn't have the same range as Garber, but his own approach is charming & enjoyable, & he did a great job bringing it home.

I love these series

I love the bunicula series but the only thing that bothers me is the different narrator of the last book you get used to the playful Howie jokes and the sarcastic Chester. Why. Just why would you change that 😒
