Publisher's summary

Real Monsters Are Not Afraid to Wear Pink!

Dracula looks on in horror at the monster's duck pouting on Instagram: teen vampires glistening in the sun with fabulous hair, werewolves with hipster beards....

He decides enough is enough. He will salvage the monster image with the monsters of old, and remind the world that they are so much more than fantasy objects for teenage girls.

Standing in Dracula’s way to world domination, are the children of his old enemies who have grown up, well, a bit snowflakey.

The Apocalypse is upon us.
Good versus evil.
Monster versus monster.
It is this Wednesday.
Bring a packed lunch.

Interesting story, but...

The story was an interesting concept, but the execution was not. It was written like a bad parody mixed with a screenplay. Too much telling and absolutely no showing. Definitely not my shot of whiskey.

Narrators did well. The voices could have been a little more distinct, but otherwise there was nothing bad.

Now we’re talking

Within this series, this one is soooo much better than the first couple. The jokes land well, and there is a lot more to the plot. Plus, you know, monsters. Whereas I think that some of the voices for the characters should have been different, it still comes over well. Dracula is still as evil as other incarnations, but surrounds himself with some stupid people. The rift between vampires and werewolves also comes across well here. Simon Carr hit the ball out of the park with this one. Once again, you should have some knowledge of previous books, as characters from them show up here, regardless of how hidden they try to be. Looking forward to the next.

A good read.

Not my cup of tea really, this book has everything. Humour, action.
Should be a good read for anyone who likes humour.

Raucous Humor

This was my first experience with Simon Carr's work, and it was quite unexpected. I described this story as raucous humor because there were times that I found the humor to be over-the-top and almost deliberately offensive, but there were also some genuinely funny moments. The whole idea of writing a story where Dracula decided to make the world afraid of monsters was humorous; however, some of the language and described scenes were not always suitable for younger readers. Tim Alexander's narration was great and added entertainment to the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Fun monster story

Who new monsters could be nice and combine together and this story is a fun story of people coming together

Vampires, werewolves, undead, and social media...

Simon Carr created a world much like our own, but with vampires, werewolves, and undead. Social media success and jealousy lead to betrayal and our story. Imagine werewolves in a Vidal Sassoon hair commercial for starters. Hilarious as always and I look forward to Simon's next story! Audio Version: Tim Alexander does a great job with the narration and his humor also shows in the final product.

TOO FUNNY MONSTERS!!

In a few words, this was freaking HILARIOUS. My 18 year old son and I have gone to listening to books while we take long car rides and walks together. We started this one a little bit back, but finally were able to finish on a car ride to pick berries Friday.

This is about some nice monsters, Dracula, and his not liking he's not the most popular monster. We have zombies, werewolves, the Kraken, vampires, and witches.

Simon Carr writes the funniest stuff, you must check this one and any other he does out ASAP.

Oh and the narration was TOO MUCH..
