About The Book
A 2026 Maverick Graphic Novel List Pick
A Comics Beat Best Kids Comic of 2025
Have you ever wondered how vampires got their taste for blood? In Dracula’s Brunch Club, it all started with a crimson-red donut, dripping and oozing with spooky secrets—I mean, jelly. Dripping and oozing with non-spooky-tasting JELLY. Get ready to sink your fangs into the hilarious new graphic novel from debut authors Brian Gonsar and Keenan Gaybba!
Count Dracula is not your average vampire. Well, sure, he’s undead, hates garlic, and will burn up in sunlight—but unlike other vampires, he has a knack for baking. And it’s his brunch club’s famous blood-orange-jelly donuts that give his fellow vampires the energy source they need to live forever. But when Transylvania experiences a mysterious jelly shortage, it allows his nemesis, Constantine, to swoop in and steal the brunch club—and the vampires’ loyalty—from Dracula. But it’s not just jelly donuts at stake. When townsfolk start to go missing, Dracula suspects Constantine has far more sinister motives lurking that could threaten everything vampires and humans have worked for. With the help of his chef and human friend, Elena, Dracula must find a new energy source before every vampire and human turns on him and he loses his coveted brunch club forever.
With a foreword from Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers!

– Comics Beat, Best Kids Comic of 2025 List
"A friendly, funny vampire story with a little bit of bite.”
– Kirkus Reviews
"[Dracula's Brunch Club] strikes a perfect balance between humor and suspense. Its silliness will have young readers laughing, while the unfolding mystery will keep them eagerly turning pages. [...] A delightful addition to the middle grade-friendly collection of vampire titles."
– School Library Journal
“Brimming with frightful fun for the whole family… A unique take on an iconic bloodsucker.”
– Daily Dead
"Hilarious."
– Fangoria
“Dracula’s Brunch Club is the horror-comedy treat of 2025… A sugary bite of undead absurdity… Dracula’s Brunch Club slathers its fangs in crimson glaze, kooky lore, and a heaping side of bite-sized betrayal.”
– My Kind of Weird
“A delightfully good time…Dracula gets up to plenty of silly antics, especially when it comes to solving the problem of the missing jelly. The art fits the overall tone of the story perfectly, and I really can’t wait to recommend this to kids once it comes out. There’s a lot to love about this book, and if your kid is a graphic novel fan, this should definitely be on your list.”
