Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer by Van Jensen
Requirements: CBR reader, 13-67 Mb
Overview: Drawing inspiration from the original story by Carlo Collodi, in which Pinocchio remains a wooden puppet at the end, Jensen and Higgins imagined a dark continuation to Pinocchio’s story. Vampires overrun the peaceful town of Nasolungo, and the only one who is willing to fight them (and even believe that they exist) is Pinocchio, who has discovered that his growing nose comes in handy for impaling the undead. While avenging the death of his slain father, Pinocchio discovers the vampires have a deeper agenda than the mere sucking of blood. Jensen and Higgins manage to craft a grim story story without being too heavy-handed — it is, after all, the story of a wooden boy killing vampires — with moments of grim humor that reflect how the book was created. “What started out as a simple joke about Pinocchio shanking vampires with his nose grew into a book filled with drama and pathos,” said Jensen, who is the writer on Pinocchio, adding, “Yep, drama and pathos… and Pinocchio using his nose to shank vampires. Lots and lots of vampires.”
