Kamakan The Vampire Slug – Live & Monstrous!! is the stage adaptation of the exciting children’s adventure rhyme Kamakan The Vampire Slug.
A favourite with children, parents and teachers alike, Kamakan The Vampire Slug is a non-stop, rip-roaring, monsterfest packed with comedy, excitement and adventure.
The story follows the hideous vampire slug Kamakan as he captures two children, Jonni and Nellie, and takes them to his dank and filthy lair. We join the two terrified children as they try to escape with the help of the Beepigs. The finale is a terrific showdown between Kamakan and a barmy army of monsters.
Now adapted for stage Kamakan Live premiered in October 2007 at Theatr Colwyn as a fun-filled storyteller recital. Enhanced with projections of Shaun King’s acclaimed illustrations, sounds effects,
suspense and nonsense, it is a huge hit with family audiences. Both young and old alike love the quirky rhymes and fabulously energetic performance of The Storyteller.

Reader Review, Feb 2007
“This book is creepy and funny at the same time, with a very original and imaginative story, and the images are little masterpieces. It's one of those books you pick up to look at again
and again, and every time I do so I discover new details both in the images and the rhymes.”

Review Daily Post Feb 2007
"Huw Roberts has served up a vivid, earthy, gothic tale (wonderfully illustrated by SB King) which will delight youngsters and adults alike with its splendidly yucky imagery and spicy language. Earwig sauce anyone?"
