Taking part is optional; lurking with a drink and people-watching is welcome.What the Book’s AboutJefferson Van Helsing lives in Portland and carries the weight of his family name: monster hunting, curse dodging, and the occasional doomed date.Van Helsing’s Guide to Monsters and Dating blends humor, illustrated monster dossiers, and a coming-of-age story about someone trying to improve himself while the supernatural world keeps interfering. It’s part handbook, part narrative, and full of cryptids, vampires, and accidental heroics.Who Ben Crew IsBen Crew grew up fascinated with the dark and unusual.
