After learning their cemetery is being moved, Draculink (from The Ink Drinker) and his niece, Carmilla, must find a new home. Carmilla's boyfriend, Odilon, unwittingly finds the perfect place, the Library of the World, which is really Dracuville--a haven for ink drinkers. Sanvoisin's writing is unfocused and weak in spots, yet imaginative, and Matje's moody cartoon illustrations are deliciously spooky.

Odilon, the victim of an ink drinking vampire, returns in this sequel to The Ink Drinker. This time he's looking for a companion to share his secret life with, and pursues the mysterious new girl at school. Although it's imaginative, much of the plot is a rehash of the first book, and the audience might be turned off by the romance theme. Matje's art is quirky, moody, and seductive.
