With his wife, he created Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery, about a pet rabbit suspected of being a vampire. In the mid-1970s, Howe's mother-in-law encouraged him and his wife, Deborah Howe, to create a children's story based on a character the two had created while watching older Dracula movies, which at the time were played late at night on TVs. Howe continued to write plays during his theater studies at Boston University, and eventually moved to New York City to pursue a career as an actor and model while directing plays and working as a literary agent. Of the latter his favorite is The Gory Gazette which he made for a self-founded club, Vampire Legion. At the age of nine or ten, Howe wrote a play based on the " Blondie" comic strip as well as a variety of short stories and self-published newspapers. He is best known for the Bunnicula series about a vampire rabbit that sucks the juice out of vegetables.
James Howe (born August 2, 1946) is an American children's writer who has written more than 79 juvenile and young adult fiction books.
