This further adventure of Bunnicula, the vampire rabbit, is yet another delightful comic treat from an author who freely admits to having been raised on a diet of 'corn, ham and punster cheese'. Lots of 'groan' lines which kids love, such as the definition of a vampire is 'a person who calls the rules during a tennis match'. While chapter headings like 'Some Thoughts on Vegetables. Or a Dead Beet in the Neighbourhood', firmly establish the 'terrible tale' in its correct humorous context.
