This is a lovely picture book about a Vampire named Ock and the various aspect of his life. It is illustrated beautifully and the story isn't plodding, so it is good for those with short attention spans too.

Even the most cynical Goths (and non-Goths)will love the art and the adventures of Ock, as he goes through Nocturnal life and its rewards/problems.

Ock experiences lots of problems with being different, but he sees all the upsides first, which is part of why this book appeals so much to me, and it might to you. ( )
