WHEN MONSTERS WAKE TP BOOK 1 CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT

When Monsters Wake TP BOOK 1: CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT presents a moody, modern spin on Dracula through the eyes of Mina Murray, a budding photojournalist navigating a small town’s creeping darkness. In 224 pages, debut author Victoria Setian pairs chilling storytelling with Savanna Ganucheau’s luminous art to pull readers into New Whitby, where a crashed ship, decaying captain, and a string of eerie events pull Mina toward a dangerous secret. As Mina digs for truth—between a high school newspaper, a homecoming dance, and a brooding transfer student who captivates the town—she discovers that old legends may have new blood. The story blends horror, mystery, and coming-of-age rhythm, balancing suspenseful misdirection with intimate character moments. This first volume sets the tone for a gripping series exploration of fear, identity, and what it means to wake monsters within us.
