Fangs aren't what they used to be in Transylvania when Dracula is forced to open a boy's prep school to make ends meet. At Tombstoun -- the famous "finishing-off" school -- the students learn biology with Professor Frankenstein, who teaches them how to make new friends; chemistry with Dr. Jekyll and his stand-in, Mr. Hyde; and French with M. Quasimodo ("Ou est le pain? Le pain is in le neck.") The illustrations show Victor Ambrus at his exuberant best using part comic-strip and part full page paintings.
