Illustrated by
Martin Matje.
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.
