It's an illustrated novel series (though each book was quite short) with a sketchy, comic-book style used in the pictures. I believe I was 8 or 9 when I read this but I remember my school librarian warned me that the series was recommended for older kids lol. I can only recall two books in this series, unfortunately.
The Golden Maze (name TBD): The cover of the book is a golden statue (could've been armour/warrior..) inside a similarly golden maze. I believe part of the story involves the maze melting somehow? Not sure who the characters were..
The Vampire's Curse (name TBD): The main character is some white guy who I know gets bit on the hand (?) by a vampire, which you get a SUPER sick illustration of, and I think he slowly turns into a vampire (or maybe withers away??). I remember a clear shot of someone in a cemetery for some reason as well.
I wish I had more information as nothing has ever come up using Google or AI, but this is everything my kid brain could manage to hold onto. Please help, I'm desperate for a trip down memeory lane!
