Suck It Up

Brian Meehl's 2008 vampire-themed young adult novel, Suck It Up, contains several references to Sesame Street.
The lead character briefly discusses a bedroom with "an Elmo night-light." The author originated the character of Elmo in his sporadic appearances from 1980 to 1984.
Later, the narrator mentions the "Cookie Monster growl" of a heavy metal singer.
In the acknowledgments, Meehl implies that Sesame Street’s inclusive atmosphere and the existence of The Count inspired him to write a novel about vampires' fighting for acceptance in society:
