Trumpula Greg Mandel

Trumpula is a modern reimagining of the Dracula tale. The story follows the dark history of Count Trumpula, a bloodthirsty four-hundred-year-old swirly-haired orange-skinned vampire just elected president of the US, and the small band of heroes determined to stop him and his army of minions from destroying the world.

Told in epistolary style, like Bram Stoker's original novel, the tale unfolds in a series of emails, journal entries, news articles, and of course, tweets. Interspersed throughout are Trumpula's first-person musings as he recounts his amazing history through the centuries, telling his version of many bigly events--from the late seventeenth century when a shirtless Russian vampire named Vladimir Poutine got him started in "the vampire business," to the French Revolution, the Alamo, the Titanic, and more, including encounters with a whole host of historic figures from Pocahontas to Hitler to the Lindbergh baby and many more.

Part political satire, part horror classic, Trumpula is bound to make vampires great again.
