Did you know all snails are named Bob? It's a fact! And this is the story of one of those Bobs and the night his life changed forever. First, he heard a SCREAM... then a C-R-A-C-K... and then he felt a drip, drip, drip... and then, poof! He was a vampire snail.

Fangs? Check. No reflection? Check. Wings? You bet.

He's alone in his vampire-ness, until one day Bob meets someone very similar....
