"Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer and The Great Puppet Theater" by Van Jensen and Dusty Higgins

166 pages

No, your eyes do not deceive you: our favorite killer puppet is back in this second volume of "Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer." He's still hunting down vampires to get revenge for the death of his beloved Geppetto. His wooden nose comes in pretty handy during his quest, as all he as to do is lie to access an unlimited supply of wooden stakes. Now, in this installment, he is joined by his "brothers and sisters"--the magical puppets of the Great Puppet Theater. They, too, are thirsty for vampire blood. That's the good news. The bad news is that Master Cherry was killed and turned into a vampire. Fairy's magic is able to keep him in his right mind--but Pinocchio can't accept him in his bloodsucking state. Finally, the tension explodes and chaos ensues. In the midst of all that, Pinocchio's woman gets kidnapped by pirates. How will Pinocchio get out of this mess?

I enjoyed this second volume of "Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer" even more than the first, and that's saying something. The story takes some interesting turns and cracked me up on almost every page. I can hardly wait for the third book to come out!
