Bookroo's summary

Harold, Howie, and Chester find themselves lost in the woods with Dawg, a peculiar new companion. As they unravel the mystery of their disappearance, they wonder if they've been led away by malevolent spirits, leaving their family vulnerable. Their only chance of escape might lie in a chilling bedtime story about Bunnicula, the vampire bunny. But can a tale meant to soothe actually hold the key to their survival? As the night deepens, the line between fiction and reality blurs, and the stakes grow ever higher.

From the publisher

THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM…. Are Harold, Howie, and Chester simply lost in the woods with Dawg, their strange new friend? Or have they been lured away from their campsite intentionally, leaving the Monroes at the mercy of evil spirits with mayhem on their minds? Lulling Dawg to sleep with a bedtime story may be their only hope of escaping – but is the hare-raising tale of the origins of Bunnicula, the vampire bunny, really a bedtime story?
