In her first hairdo-raising adventure, Elvira meets the weirdos next door--a pasty-faced group of coffin-carrying bloodsuckers! Elvira likes vampires as much as the next ghoul. But when they start chomping on her friends, the new creeps on the block receive a little visit--from ELvira's unwelcome wagon. This book begins a new series starring America's favorite glamour ghoul.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
What can you say about a book narrated by Elvira that pits the Mistress of the Midnight B Movies, along with handsome Luke Berry and other teens at Beaver Hills High, against Luke's girlfriend turned bloodsucker, Shannon Doheny, and her malevolent mentor, Sevil Alucard (get it? Unfortunately, the Beaver Hills brain trust doesn't until the last pages). It's certainly camp, the kind of unassuming guilty pleasure that combines R.L. Stine, a Fabio novel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and wax teeth. As one would expect of Elvira, the jokes are groaners and she does do the vamp bit for all it's worth. Still, the spoofing of the preternaturally stupid 90210-ers can be funny. This first in a projected series is mindless entertainment for the psychotronics crowd, but no worse.

The Mistress of the Dark has never been funnier or scarier!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elvira: transylvania 90210 (Paperback)
Attention all Elvira-philes, the gal in black who keeps comin' back has conquered yet another venue, (or is that vein-ue?) the literary world! Yes, "Transylvania 90210" is the first Elvira novel and it is fantastic. Written from Elvira's own unique POV, it manages to blend the right mix of silliness and scares you've come to expect from the Mistress of the Dark. The fun begins when Elvira gets a new neighbor, Sevil Alucard. Sevil is dashing, dapper, and the dream guy of every girl in the small town of Beaver Flats. But from day one, Elvira suspects that there's more to her neighbor than meets the eye. Maybe because she thinks she saw a coffin being delivered the night Sevil moved in, or it could be that Sevil's roommate is a short, filthy hunchback with an appetite for insects. And when local rebel Luke Berry's girlfriend, Shannon Doheny, vanishes, it's up to Elvira and Luke to find out what's really going on in the house next door. This book manages to effectively blend horror, comedy and really cheesy "Beverly Hills 90210" parody into an effective and engaging read. Elvira fans will love it, and so will those who haven't yet discovered the lady with the enormous...er..ratings.
