This was a fun and quick read - I really enjoyed it! The art made it so fun and I could see it being an actual TV show on TV. The storyline was interesting to me, even as a 30 year old. The bonus content at the end was cool too - appreciate the donut recipe and behind-the-scenes info.

I was so excited to read this as I love almost everything Oni Press puts out. The art resembles that of Total Drama Island or something you would see on cartoon network which was really fun to see in a graphic novel. Outside of the fun art and the interesting back matter, this graphic novel didnt really land for me. There were humorous parts but the story dids't work for me like I thought it would. That being said, I do think kids would get a kick out of it. Oblivious vampires that are obsessed with donuts are a perfect recipe for a fun book and this book is admittedly a fun read. I will pass it along to kids who ask for something dark and humorous.

A fun read but very much middle grade. If you’re wanting a goofy Dracula story about putting the Blood into Blood Orange Doughnuts then this is the graphic novel for you.

Also has actual recipes at the end which I cannot wait to try!!

Very much in the same vein (pun intended) as Gravity Falls.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for the arc!

This graphic novel was super cute and a total treat to read! The concept of Dracula hosting a quirky brunch club is as fun and lighthearted as it sounds, and the art style really adds to the charm. It’s got that perfect mix of spooky and silly, ideal for fans of cosy horror or playful spooky humor.

The characters are lovable in their own bizarre ways, and the story doesn’t take itself too seriously, which made it a really easy, feel-good read. If you’re looking for something spooky but wholesome, this is definitely worth picking up!

This is not your average Dracula story. It holds some of the initial lore as most Dracula retellings do, he will burn in the sun, really dislikes garlic and the classic fangs and outfit. However this Count has a flare for baking and has won many awards for his famous jelly filled doughnuts and hosts a brunch club for his fellow vamps and he even invites humans.

The secret recipe he uses for his jelly filling is full of blood oranges. The blood orange jelly is what gives his fellow vampires the nutrition and energy they need to remain Un-Dead.

While Dracula was away , competing in baking competitions, a mysterious jelly shortage happens at home. On top of that, Dracula's rival, Constantie has taken over his brunch club.

With help from his human allies he must track down the meaning of the jelly shortage or he will loose his brunch club forever.

This was such a fun and delightful take on an old school story. This is age appropriate for middle grade readers and entertaining for older readers as well!

The art was unique and really brought whimsy in through the story.

Thank you NetGalley and Children's Fiction and Oni Press for the Digital Arc for Review.

I really wanted to love Dracula’s Brunch Club as I love paranormal graphic novels, but it severely missed the mark for me.

One thing I really liked was the art style. It reminded me of old school Cartoon Network shows and that’s what I grew up watching so it feels very nostalgic. What I didn’t love about the visuals was how flat everything felt. I get that Dracula’s Brunch Club is set during the night as it’s about vampires but there’s just no colour in it whatsoever – the whole thing is blue toned which made every panel look the same to me.

The style and bold colours of the cover made me really hopeful about what this would look like inside but I’ve once again been tricked by a cover that looks nothing like the contents. As I said above though, I did like the actual illustrations.

I also felt like this was a little too long. It took me three different attempts to get through Dracula’s Brunch Club and I’m the type of person that will read a graphic novel in one sitting. There’s just so much dialogue and a lot of it felt redundant. Instead of talking about something, show it. The second half was definitely better as there was more going on than just talking about jelly and I did think Dracula discovering he can drink human blood for sustenance was pretty funny.

Sadly, I really didn’t enjoy Dracula’s Brunch Club as much as I thought I would. This is all entirely personal preference though. This graphic novel didn’t work for me but that may not be the case for you.

Dracula’s Brunch Club is a fun, fast read with bold graphics and plenty of goofy humor. It is definitely aimed towards middle grade readers, with the classic teenage-boy jokes. But even as an adult, I laughed out loud a few times.

The story is about a society where vampires and humans coexist. But in this society, the vampires live on blood orange jelly donuts. Fun story and fun read!

The book even includes fun recipes in the back related to foods mentioned in the book.

Dracula’s Brunch Club is a quirky delight that sneaks up on you in the best way.
I picked it up on a whim—and that whim paid off. The whimsy of the narrative pulls you in fast, and before you know it, you’re completely immersed. Imagine Hotel Transylvania meets Powerpuff Girls, but with more jelly, fangs, and vampire drama.

Dracula, in this refreshingly comedic twist, isn’t just the Prince of Darkness—he’s also the king of the kitchen. His brunch club, powered by blood-orange jelly donuts, is at the heart of Transylvania’s vampire society. But when a jelly shortage strikes and his nemesis Constantine swoops in to steal the spotlight, the stakes get higher than a haunted castle tower. Add missing townsfolk and a mysterious plot, and you've got yourself a deliciously chaotic ride.

What really shines is the unusual—but brilliant—blend of horror parody, friendship, culinary creativity, and undead politics. Dracula's witty, chef-y side is fun and unexpected, and his bond with Elena, the human chef, adds warmth to the ghoulish fun.

The artwork is pure joy—vibrant, exaggerated, and full of personality, reminiscent of classic ‘90s cartoons. It’s visually bold and sure to charm younger readers (and nostalgic adults).

While Kevin Jonas’s foreword gives the book a celebrity stamp of approval, it’s the engaging storytelling, humor, and heart that steal the spotlight.

A wildly original and irresistibly fun read—perfect for days when you don’t want anything heavy, but still want to feel immersed and entertained.Whether you're nine or ninety-nine, this graphic novel is a fang-tastic escape.

Lighthearted, witty and fun, Dracula's Brunch Club is graphic novel good for all ages and tastes, whether you're new into the "vampire" genre (if this book falls into that label) or you're looking for something a little different from your usual broody creatures of the dark. Despite my initial reservations, this book had a decent storyline and quirky characters that'll grow on you. And while it touches on vampires drinking blood, it keeps it light enough for them young readers.

This was a sweet middle age graphic novel - recommended for children of all ages, especially those who are interested in horror or cooking.

This was a very fun quick read! I think this would be perfect for grades 5-7! Seeing Dracula in a different way was very neat! Kids will love this!

This book was so much fun! I loved the twist on the classic Dracula. I'll definitely be buying this for my classroom.

It’s a fast-paced and super fun read that I think middle schoolers will really connect with. It takes the familiar character of Dracula and gives him a hilarious twist that feels fresh and clever. It has a great message about how two very different groups can learn to live together, and honestly, who doesn’t love a story with jelly donuts and a vampire brunch club?

Cute and funny with a lovely art style. I mean, this has me craving a blood orange jelly donut so job well done.

Dracula returns from his travels to find his brunch club overrun by another vampire, Constantine, and the towns supply of blood oranges and jam completely gone. Hoping to reclaim his Brunch Club with his delicious blood orange doughnuts, he sets out to solve the mystery.

This was such a fun graphic novel about vampires and doughnuts! The story was engaging and the art style reminded me of a cross between Hotel Transylvania and 90s cartoons - I loved that, and I loved the nostalgia trip that came with it. I also read some of this with my 4 year old who rather loved it too. Overall a really cute, fun story with some (age appropriate) twists and turns.

Dracula's Brunch Club offers a delightful twist on the classic vampire tale, blending humor, heart, and a touch of the supernatural. In this middle-grade graphic novel, Count Dracula is not your typical bloodthirsty fiend; instead, he's a passionate baker whose blood-orange jelly donuts energize the vampire community. When a mysterious jelly shortage threatens his brunch club's existence, Dracula must confront his rival, Constantine, and uncover a deeper conspiracy.

Brian Gonsar's storytelling is engaging, infusing the narrative with lighthearted humor and a sense of adventure. The plot is imaginative, providing a fresh perspective on vampire mythology that's both entertaining and accessible to younger readers. Keenan Gaybba's illustrations complement the story beautifully, with vibrant colors and expressive characters that bring the whimsical world to life.

While the book excels in creativity and charm, some readers might find the pacing a bit uneven, with certain sections feeling rushed while others linger too long. Additionally, the character development, though adequate, could have been more nuanced to add depth to the story.

In summary, Dracula's Brunch Club is a fun and imaginative read that reimagines vampire lore with a delightful culinary twist. It's a perfect choice for young readers seeking a spooky yet heartwarming adventure.
