"4.5 Stars!...A great young adult horror tale by baseball novelist Bruce Markusen. The story of Kenny Odom takes the reader on a grand adventure that starts in Kenny's basement where he discovers the body of a vampire and unknowingly sets the creature free, bringing him back into mortal society. With haunted attics, graveyards and the ever scary basement, Markusen manages a fantastical tale that keeps the reader enthralled, waiting impatiently for the next twist in Kenny's saga. Reminiscent of a friday night thriller special, Haunted House of the Vampire makes for the perfect Halloween read."—Angelique Armae, award-winning author of Come The Night

"This story will capture your imagination; it is filled with mysterious secrets that are ready to be unveiled. Can one young boy find the answers to help make right the wrong that was been done many years before? Mr. Markusen definitely has a flare for storytelling. This typically is not the type of book that I normally read, however, I was compelled to read this book to the end, to see what would happened to Kenny and Victor. Haunted House of the Vampire has a suspenseful ending that will leave you waiting for the next book in the series. This book has broadened my horizons and introduced me to young adult horror type of books. I look forward to reading all of the series when they are written."—Patricia, Coffee Time Romance

With that last word spoken, Kenny took one slow step backward. He had given the man no personal information, said nothing about his name.

Kenny then looked to his side, feeling something cold and moist wrapped around his waist. It was the man's arm.

How could that be? Having taken that long backward step, Kenny was now at least five or six feet away from the coffin. How could the man, who was still sitting up in the coffin, possibly reach him from that kind of distance?
