Redwall VS. The Vampire Hound

The last time I read The Vampire Hound by Jim Kraft was six years ago. So I read it again.

It was awesome then, and it was awesome now. Slatkin was still my favorite (despite the fact he's a bit of a villain) and the only reason it never hit the best-seller's list, was because of the mega-dorky cover. Anyhoo, just thought I'd do another Redwall vs. "animal book" face off.

Enjoy!
