Synopsis:
From writers Scott Snyder and Stephen King, American Vampire introduces a new strain of vampire – a more vicious species – and traces the creatures' bloodline through decades of American history.
Snyder's 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 righteous revenge against the European monsters who tortured and abused her. And in King's story set in the days of America's Wild West, readers learn the origin of Skinner Sweet, the original American vampire – a stronger, faster creature than any vampire ever seen before.
Don't miss out as Snyder and King set fire to the horror genre with this visionary, all-original take on one of the most popular monster stories!
This beautiful collection features a new introduction by Stephen King and bonus art including character sketches, variant covers and more!
Review:
After reading this I definitely have a new appreciation for Vampires! This novel has reignited my confidence in Vampire novels as a whole. This is my second graphic novel by Scott Snyder and, just like with Wytches, I'm completely in love. <3 <3 <3
I wasn't invested in the story at the beginning but it didn't take long to pull me in. The art work was perfect, I loved the duel but intertwining plot lines, and once again I loved the original sketches and the explanation for how this project came about that was included at the end. There's not too much more that I can say to really describe the level of awesomeness of this novel and I don't think there's much that really needs to be said. Just the fact that this is Scott Snyder and Stephen King working together should be enough to persuade you to give into you curiosity.
