Elvira: Transylvania 90210

Summary: The Mistress of the Dark has never been funnier or scarier!
Review: Attention all Elvira-philes, the gal in black who keeps comin' back has conquered yet another venue, (or is that vein-ue?) the literary world! Yes, "Transylvania 90210" is the first Elvira novel and it is fantastic.

Written from Elvira's own unique POV, it manages to blend the right mix of silliness and scares you've come to expect from the Mistress of the Dark. The fun begins when Elvira gets a new neighbor, Sevil Alucard. Sevil is dashing, dapper, and the dream guy of every girl in the small town of Beaver Flats. But from day one, Elvira suspects that there's more to her neighbor than meets the eye. Maybe because she thinks she saw a coffin being delivered the night Sevil moved in, or it could be that Sevil's roommate is a short, filthy hunchback with an appetite for insects. And when local rebel Luke Berry's girlfriend, Shannon Doheny, vanishes, it's up to Elvira and Luke to find out what's really going on in the house next door.

This book manages to effectively blend horror, comedy and really cheesy "Beverly Hills 90210" parody into an effective and engaging read. Elvira fans will love it, and so will those who haven't yet discovered the lady with the enormous...er..ratings.
