Why, Oh Why, was I not informed of this?

I was helping a kid find a book at the library yesterday when there, like a gift from the book gods, was this....

Yep, that's right. Your eyes do not deceive you. They're vampires. They're pirates. And what does Pollywog love in this world? Yep, vampires and pirates. How did this get on the shelf without my knowledge? What sort of sick twisted world do we live in where I was not presented with this book post-haste?

I've only read a chapter or two. Not all that bad for young adult lit.

And, to further supplement my joy, it's a series!!!!

Vampirates....mmmmmm.
