American Vampire, Book One

Description

American Vampire Book One is a horror comic collection created by Scott Snyder and Stephen King about a new breed of vampire and the dark side of American history. This standard-sized trade paperback collects American Vampire #1–12.

Skinner Sweet’s story begins in the Wild West. A ruthless man, he becomes a vampire with powers that differ from the old European bloodsuckers: he is stronger, faster, and does not fear the sun. Immortality only intensifies his cruelty and thirst for revenge.

The other narrative thread takes us to 1920s Los Angeles. A young woman, transformed into a vampire herself, stands up against the European monsters that tortured her. Personal motives for revenge intertwine with a conflict between different generations of vampires and the backdrop of a changing America.

Art by Rafael Albuquerque and Danijel Žeželj complements a story where Western mood meets vampire horror.
