Most know the classic story of Frankenstein, Dracula, the wolf man etc. In this new take on these stories all these creatures (people) are real and there is a gun toting organization created by Van Helsing a century ago to make sure that they all tow the line of proper behavior. This book can be action packed but it does have some slow points as it sets up the story. Overall it is enjoyable, and a great title for boys who are looking for both action and horror in one read.
