4	''[[http://dracufrank.quinlancircle.com Invisible Werewolf Dracula meets Vampire Mummy Frankenstein]]'' is an action-comedy WebSerialNovel by Joi and Trueman Massat.
5
6	In a world where the classic monsters of [[Literature/{{Dracula}} gothic]] [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} literature]] and [[Franchise/UniversalHorror black-and-white movies]] are real, the mummified corpse of Frankenstein's Monster is revived (or, rather, undeadified) by Count Dracula. Together they sip wine, philosophize about the meaning of monsterdom in a cruel world, and kick ass.

8	----
9	!! This series provides examples of:
10	* BadassNormal: Our party includes the titular super-strong monsters, a fairly strong gill-man, a magic cat...and a just-plain-human retired sprinter. A case can also be made for Commander Alice (she's a werewolf, which sounds cool...[[spoiler: until you realize she's only as strong as most of the world's population]]).
11	* BubblePipe: Robert Fishman. He doesn't use a bubble pipe because he's a child, however, [[DontExplainTheJoke but because he's a fish man.]]
12	* CatsAreSnarkers: When Trials isn't making [[HurricaneOfPuns painful puns,]] she's just plain rude.
13	* {{Deuteragonist}}: While Dracula is the team leader, Adam is more the POV character. Still, as a party member, he's TheLancer to Dracula's [[TheHero Hero]].
14	* EmergencyTransformation: Trials escaped death via [[IncrediblyLamePun witch trial]] by entering the body of a black cat.
15	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
16	* FishPeople: Robert Fishman. Much like [[Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon a certain movie monster,]] he's also [[SingleSpecimenSpecies the only one of his kind.]]
17	* FrankensteinsMonster: The "Frankenstein" here takes more after [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} the original novel]] than any movie adaptation: moody, biblical, definitely not lumbering, even goes by the name Adam.
18	* FurAgainstFang: Dracula may be part-werewolf, but he's definitely fighting for Team Vampire, so to speak.
19	* GiantFlyer: Bistritz, the giant bat with the entire Castle Dracula on his back.
20	* [[spoiler: [[InTheFutureHumansWillBeOneRace In The Future, Humans Will Be One Race (Of Werewolves)]]]]
21	* LighterAndSofter: This story is all about lightening and softening the lives of classic, tortured monsters, who go from [[ByronicHero brooding and unloved]] to [[TrueCompanions allies and friends.]]
22	* LightningFireJuxtaposition: Adam is immune to fire, wears a sun disc, [[spoiler: and is partially inhabited by the sun god Horus]]. The lightning comes from [[spoiler: Helen/"Eve," who fights with it, is powered by it, and was reanimated by a thunderbolt (she's Frankenstein's Bride, after all).]]
23	* LonelyTogether: The band of heroes, and seemingly also the band of villains. Try finding a character who ''hasn't'' been a loner.
24	* MelancholyMoon: If a character (including the narrator) is focusing on the moon, they're usually feeling sorrowful [[spoiler: [[WeirdMoon because the moon has been all but destroyed]] by [[AsteroidMiners space mining]]]].
25	* MonsterAdventurers
26	* MonsterMash: Right away, we have all our bases covered...but don't forget about the gill-man, the black cat, the hunchbacked lab assistant...
27	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Adam [[spoiler: puts together his bride, only for her to run away.]]
28	--> [[spoiler: “I have done nothing but loose another sorry creature unto this world.”]]
29	* NightAndDayDuo: Dracula (loud and showy; often referred to as the so-and-so "of the night") and Adam (quiet, humble; wears a sun disc, can radiate light).
30	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The heroes, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin naturally.]]
31	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Invoked. The largest-scale battle in the novel—the one where Dracula faces a werewolf battalion and [[KillSat a massive vampire-destroying satellite]]—goes unseen, meaning we never figure out [[spoiler: how he knocked it out of space, ''from the Earth's surface.'']] It's implied that the scene was just too gruesome.
32	--> '''Dracula:''' “The reason I send my friends away is that this—what ''I'' am about to perform—is a maneuver no man nor wolf should wish to see. ''So you shall not.''”
33	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Werewolfism, originally [[ViralTransformation spread through bites,]] is now administered via a convenient injection and kept active full-time by "mini-moons" orbiting their heads.
34	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Several of the classic weaknesses have been nerfed; crosses only hurt when they look directly at them, garlic is "merely incredibly irritating," and a stake through the heart only kills them if it's silver. They're only WeakenedByTheLight (or sunburned), though Adam, who is thought to be a [[DaywalkingVampire ''solar'' vampire,]] seems unaffected. So the most effective vampire counter-measures are...[[BeatItByCompulsion throwing rice on the ground (so they will be forced to count it)]] [[WeaksauceWeakness and not inviting them into your house.]]
35	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
36	* SavingTheWorld: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged:]] first subverted [[spoiler: (they're saving [[FirstContactFauxPas a different world)]]]] and then played straight [[spoiler: after Alice suggests they go all the way]].
37	* {{Transhuman}}: It's surprisingly easy to see the werewolves as [[BioAugmentation biologically enhanced people]] [[spoiler:and to compare their society to a transhumanist {{dystopia}}]]. (This would make Dracula a ProHumanTranshuman.)
38	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Igor. He arguably ''has'' created his utopia [[spoiler: by turning as many people as possible into werewolves]], and everyone loves it...[[RagtagBunchOfMisfits except for the few outcasts and non-conformists...]]
39	* WeWillUseLasersInTheFuture: Of the [[RayGun Ubiquitous Lasers]] variety. Oddly enough, laser guns [[SchizoTech intermingle with]] standard guns and [[SilverBullet the typical monster-killing fare.]]
40	* WorldOfWeirdness: Starts from "what if ''Frankenstein'' and ''Dracula'' really happened?" and gets much more absurd from there.
