review:
'Dracula Marries Frankenstein' by Susan Schade with illustrations by Jon Buller is a part graphic novel, part prose book. It's also the second book in the Anne of Green Bagels series, which I liked better.
This time out Anne and Otto and company want to make a monster movie. When they suddenly (?) spy a creepy looking castle, they realize it's perfect. Now they just have to get permission from the homeowner and write a script. The problems occur when the homeowner stumbles upon the movie set and has a raging fit over the idea of a same sex movie being filmed on her property. A viral video goes live and things get worse before they get better.
This book alternates between text and comics like the first one, but I liked the first one more because the comics were Anne's weird dreams. This time around the story feels more rushed and there are lots, maybe too many, things going on. The art is still good, and overall it was ok.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Thanks for your honest review, Wayne. In future editions may we quote you? I like the sound of "overall it was ok."
ReplyDeleteYou certainly may, Jon. I've enjoyed both books, both in great art style and offbeat storytelling. I look forward to seeing what is next.
