Plot
Zachary Pingrey is a teenage 13-year-old boy. He somehow has a crush on Penny Johanssen and befriends a gay dude named Art Pearson, his childhood friend who had a crush on his friend from Art class, Alexander Limpkins and a nerdy girl named Jamie Crocker. He somehow stumbles upon a "vampire" named Candra Quint, who is a Goth girl who wears fake vampire fangs to school who told him that there is an urban legend about the Dark Cave. Hearing about its urban legend, at night, he finds a cave and was frightened by a vampire named Octavia Radcliffe. She was surprised to see him but Candra and her both have anything in common. Art, Jamie and Candra befriend her as well. She tries to warn everyone about her father who wants to destroy the Vampire amulet.

Count Olaf is an evil mastermind who wants to destroy the amulet forever to make him powerful. But Zachary realized that Octavia comes from a long line of vampires. Zachary believes that he saw a vampire, but no one believes him. Penny was confused but was still frightened by Octavia, revealing that she can float in thin air and grow fangs. They befriend other vampires like Nikolas Chatfield, a Gothic loner, Kristi Malloy, a perky yet bubbly airheaded perky goth, Erin Cromwell, a mysterious gloomy vampire, Angela Crichlow, the youngest of the Vampires, and Olivia Radcliffe, Octavia's 11-year-old sister.

The vampires realize that there are evil vampires such as Octavia's father, Olaf, Evelada, Shiri Graveheart and Yuko Nightshade, the two Japanese vampires. Penny, Jamie and Art thwarts Olaf's plan to destroy the amulet but Minevra tricks him into this. The amulet is never destroyed but the evil vampires met their demises: Olaf is stabbed by a stake, Evelada is forced to eat garlic, Shiri is sprayed by holy water and Yuko gets burnt by the sun. The good vampires stay in the cave so they can't be burnt.

At the end, Penny and Zachary share a hug as his friends arrive and so does the vampires. Octavia carries around her umbrella to keep her Vampire friends safe from the sun.
