What's a boy to do when he hates to read and he's stuck in his father's book store over vacation? Spy on costumers, that's what! The adventure begins when the boy spot a strange-looking customer shuffling through the shelves. The man isn't browsing --- he's sucking up the ink of every printed word with a straw! Scared but curious, the boy follows the weird, pale fellow to a cemetery --- where the boy ends up developing a taste for something much more filling than blood...
I read The Ink Drinker. It is a story about a vampire but the vampire can't drink blood. He only drinks printed words in books. The vampire drinks Ink! I thought it was very interesting story and I don't want to see the man like one in this story. The boy is interested in the man who his father is talking about. The boy follows the vampire and he tries to drink ink by following the vampire. He is absorbed tasting ink. But there is just one problem. When he drinks the printed words in the book, the words appear on his face. So his father thinks it is strange and he don't what to happen. Finally, the boy is at a loss.
