Oni Press is proud to awaken Dracula’s Brunch Club! Have you ever wondered how vampires got their taste for blood? In Dracula’s Brunch Club, it all started with a crimson-red donut, dripping and oozing with spooky secrets—I mean, jelly. Get ready to sink your fangs into the hilarious new graphic novel from debut authors Brian Gonsar (Twisted Tales of Scary Stories: Werewolves) and Keenan Gaybba!

Blood, treachery, and humor from two promising newcomers not enough? Dracula’s Brunch Club will also hit the stands with a foreword from Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers!

Read the new comic’s full synopsis below:

Count Dracula is not your average vampire. Well, sure, he’s undead, hates garlic, and will burn up in sunlight—but unlike other vampires, he has a knack for baking. And it’s his brunch club’s famous blood-orange-jelly donuts that give his fellow vampires the energy source they need to live forever. But when Transylvania experiences a mysterious jelly shortage, it allows his nemesis, Constantine, to swoop in and steal the brunch club—and the vampires’ loyalty—from Dracula.

But it’s not just jelly donuts at stake. When townsfolk start to go missing, Dracula suspects Constantine has far more sinister motives lurking that could threaten everything vampires and humans have worked for. With the help of his chef and human friend, Elena, Dracula must find a new energy source before every vampire and human turns on him and he loses his coveted brunch club forever.

In our exclusive excerpt from the charming new comic, Dracula reckons with what happens when everyone leaves the latest meeting of the brunch club.

“I was always envious of the kids who carried around Goosebumps or other scary stories,” said Brian Gonsar. “I wanted to read them too, but I didn’t love being scared. This book is here to remedy that. It’s a comedy in a spooky wrapper and manages to keep even the most intense situations light. A perfect combo for kids who want scary stories, but not actually to be scared.”

Prepare your cursed culinary appetite for September 2025, when Dracula’s Brunch Club arises from its slumber!
