"Christmas wont be Christmas without any corpses." The dear, sweet March sisters are back, and Marmee has told them to be good little women. Good little vampire women, that is. That's right: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy have grown up since you last read their tale, and now they have (much) longer lives and (much) more ravenous appetites. Marmee has taught them well, and so they live by an unprecedented moral code of abstinence . . . from human blood. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy must learn to get along with one another, help make society a better place, and avoid the vampire hunters who pose a constant threat to their existence. Plus, Laurie is dying to become a part of the March family, at any cost. Some things never change. This horrifying—and hilarious—retelling of a timeless American classic will leave readers craving the bloodthirsty drama on each and every page.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Apparently, we’ve been reading everything all wrong...Fortunately, Lynn Messena is here to resurrect the previously untold vampiric careers of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. Blood curdling fun.” Barnes & Noble editorial review
“Messina flawlessly maintains the flavor of the original, inserting the vampiric element so seamlessly that it becomes evident that a gothic thread was there all along, waiting to be picked up.” Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Surprisingly effective…[A] clever and loving spoof, replete with excellent wordplay and footnotes to clarify vampire history.” Booklist
“Messina has cleverly interspersed footnotes in the text to explain some past vampire accomplishment or event. The serious, scholarly tone with which they are written makes them quite humorous. The author’s prose style is sharp, and her imprint on these characters is distinct.” School Library Journal
