A short-lived obscure Gamebook series by author J.H. Brennan, who is more famous for his GrailQuest and Sagas of the Demonspawn series. It was released in 1986.It is constituted of a grand total of two books: Dracula's Castle and Curse of Frankenstein. As can be seen from their titles/cover-art, they are directly based on the Universal Horror monsters.The particularity of this series is that each book allows the reader to play as either the "good" human protagonist or the "bad" monster antagonist, each one having their own special abilities. Dracula's Castle has you playing as either Jonathan Harker or Count Dracula, Curse of Frankenstein has you as either Baron Frankenstein or the Monster.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Despite its horror theme, the series still has much of the parodic Brennan humor.Although the series is quite obscure, it still has a minor following, and has a fan-written sequel (in French), La Malédiction des Baskerville ("Curse of the Baskerville"), inspired by The Hound of the Baskervilles; it allows the reader to play as either Sherlock Holmes or the Hound. | |

Adaptational Badass: Jonathan Harker and Van Helsing are quite a challenge in combat against the vampire count. Van Helsing even summons the Signs of the Zodiac to fight at his side. | |

Adaptational Wimp: If played as a protagonist, Dracula is not as strong as you'd expect from the dark prince of the night. He loses hit points at each paragraph and can only suck blood from his enemies if he casts a 6 or 12 in his dice throw. | |
