DOTTY SUTTON: MOTH THE VEGGIE VAMPIRE
Making her debut as an author, Dotty’s new vampire adventure for young readers, Moth the Veggie Vampire, is published by Penguin in October. It's the first in a four book series.
Master Timothy Hawthorne, otherwise known as ‘Moth’, is super awkward, super anxious and a half-vampire. Worst of all, he’s a vegetarian! Joined by a zany cast that includes his best friend, Biscuit (a bat), bedbugs, a princess and Gary (a Venus flytrap) - life usually sucks. But thanks to a girl named Mina, he learns a lot about friendship and acceptance along the way. Funny, warm and guaranteed to raise a smile.
Character development is Dotty's great passion, and Moth's world is drawn with plenty of personality. Gothic in the spirit of Dracula but with a modern, emo twist, the book is bursting with illustrations throughout. Dotty’s venture into writing is one that we’re truly happy to witness, and we hope Moth and his friends capture the imagination of young readers as we can guarantee this book is just the start of a wonderfully spooky series of adventures. Read our interview with Dotty Sutton to find out what inspired her to create the characters and what’s her favourite scary movie!
