About Van Helsing's Guide to Monsters and Dating:

Meet Jefferson Van Helsing, descendant of the greatest vampire hunter of all time, as he faces horrifying monsters and even more terrifying first dates in Portland, Oregon.

Polite conversation is quite limited when you’re a descendant of the man who hunted Dracula, and it makes going on nice dinner dates damn near impossible. But Jeff, Portland's local monster hunter, revels in the gore of his not-quite-day job.

In this guidebook, Jeff teaches the reader how to face an encounter with the most evil creatures of darkness, be they an 800-year-old blood-sucking fiend or a finance major who only has "coffee!!!" listed as their interest. He may still be learning the ins and outs of romantic etiquette, but killing monsters is in his blood.

Van Helsing’s Guide to Monsters and Dating is an illustrated monster/dating companion where readers will learn how to identify and fight ghouls, ghosts, vampires and more. In this harrowing debut by Ben Crew, Jeff stumbles into true love, discovers the importance of bro-time, and accidentally triggers a century-old prophecy all in a good-natured attempt to better the world by bettering himself.

Van Helsing's Guide to Monsters and Dating is avialble for purchase !

Ben Crew is a Maryland-based author who channeled his love for classic monster films and horror comedy into the debut novel Van Helsing's Guide to Monsters and Dating. Growing up, he watched and learned as his father dedicated himself to writing a history of WWII. Ben naturally showed the same reverence for studying vampires and werewolves. After gaining online attention as the author of a Muppets version of The Great Gatsby, he became confident that there was an audience for his work.
