Watch out, Twilight fans—vampire fiction is turning vicious! Created by comic book writer Scott Snyder and featuring an original storyline by Stephen King, American Vampire centers upon a burly, blood-under-the-nails creature who’s as American as the Wild West.
The first of two stories—one by Snyder, one by King, both with art by Rafael Albuquerque—follows Pearl Jones. An aspiring actress of the Jazz Age, Pearl haunts Hollywood’s speakeasies and dance-halls to catch her first break. But when she’s ambushed at a party, abused, tortured and left for dead, her ambition changes…to a mission of revenge.
King’s story traces the origins of the first American vampire. Born of a random mutation, Skinner Sweet is undead with a difference—he’s more powerful than any vampire seen before. A bank-robbing badass of the 1880s, Sweet’s feral stare, rattlesnake fangs and unusual power—fueled by the sun!—have just one goal: getting revenge on the European bloodsuckers who tried to kill him.
Critically acclaimed for its unique concept of vampire evolution—a storyline that traces the new bloodline through American history—American Vampire sets fire to the genre with this groundbreaking graphic novel. Issues #1-5.
