Vampirism Comes to America. And Evolves…
Writer: Scott Snyder & Stephen King | Artist: Rafael Albuquerque | Colours: McCaig
Introducing a new strain of vampire – a more vicious species, this series traces the creatures’ bloodline through decades of American history.
This book follows two inter-linked stories: one written by Snyder and one written by King. The first tale follows Pearl, a young woman living in 1920s Los Angeles, who is brutally turned into a vampire and sets out on a path of vengeance against the European monsters who tortured and abused her. The second story, set in the days of America’s Wild West, tells of the origin of Skinner Sweet, the original American vampire – a stronger, faster creature than any vampire ever seen before, with unique powers all his own, which set him not only apart from his European forebears, but maybe above them in the food-chain as well... I really enjoyed this.
