I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in August. This was a light, hilarious and slightly spooky read. The jokes made me actually laugh out loud.

What happens when Dracula is threatened with expulsion from his own Brunch club? And do you know why vampires started drinking blood? It's all about the donuts!

This is a really fun, super cute read with great humour throughout and a superbly charming art style that will really catch your eye. The story also stands out as being unique to what you usually expect from vampire books which is an added bonus!

This is only my second read from Oni Press, but it has completely solidified my trust in their graphic novels. Both books I’ve read from them have been absolute hits, and I now find myself eager to pick up anything they publish, no second thoughts needed.

This one, in particular, was a delightful surprise—a perfect blend of humor, heart, and just the right touch of seriousness.

At its core, the story follows Count Dracula, who has become world-famous not for his vampiric exploits, but for his legendary blood orange jelly donuts. Loved by both vampires and humans, he runs a popular brunch club that serves as a symbol of unity. However, when another Dracula appears with the intent to sow division between the two communities and push him out of his own brunch club, Dracula must find a way to preserve the peace and the pastries. The book even tell the story of how vampires developed their taste for blood in the first place.

What I especially appreciated is that this story is enjoyable for both kids and adults. The bonus content at the end—complete with recipes, alternate cover designs, and behind-the-scenes insights into the panel work, was an added treat that made the experience feel even more special.

A comical take on the age old story of Dracula. Instead of feasting on the blood of the innocent, vampires in this world want one thing, and one thing only...jelly doughnuts. No one makes a better jelly donut than the Count, but all is thrown into turmoil when ther is a jelly shortage. It's a fun, lighthearted story that centers around missing jelly and friendship.

Thank you to Brian Gonsar, Keenan Gaybba, Oni Press, and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review (unpaid).

Such a cute & fun story - the perfect vampire book for kids! Explores the moral qualms of feeding on humans without being too explicit

Very cute!! I really loved the art style—it’s super charming and fit the vibe of the story perfectly. The characters were fun, the concept was adorable, and it had that cozy, quirky feel I was totally in the mood for.

The story was sweet and had a lot of heart, but I will say it dragged a little in the middle. Nothing major, just lost a bit of momentum before picking back up. Still, I had a great time with it overall. Definitely recommend if you’re in the mood for something wholesome and visually delightful!

Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for supplying me with an ARC for my honest review of this lovely middle grade graphic novel.

This was my first time reading a graphic novel and it did not disappoint. Dracula’s Brunch Club had me smiling from cover to cover. The color and illustrations were gorgeous and kept me interested in the story just as much as the writing. I also really enjoyed the author’s creativity, there was a lot of witty humor woven throughout the story and the romance reader in me smiled at Dracula’s little crush on Elena. This book is perfect for older elementary schoolers, I can’t wait to share this book with my 10 year old daughter.

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. This was a cute read and I liked the art. We follow Dracula who has just come back to Transylvania after being gone for 6 months without the jelly he needs for his donuts who are loved by all. Where did it all go? Why are all the other vampires feeling weak while one seems to be bent on ruining Dracula and keeping him out of his own brunch club. It was a fun read.
