Illustrated by
J.otto Seibold.
Young Dagmar is a vegetarian vampire with a sweet tooth. Hearing about the human tradition of handing out candy on Halloween, Dagmar visits the local village where he learns to trick-or-treat and makes a new friend. The story is weak but serves as a solid vehicle for Seibold's illustrations, which shine like glossy candy wrappers.
