Rated 5 starsAmidst the sounds of metallic rain
Before reviewing this book, I have to say that many of the editorial comments I've read under "plot synopsis" are understimations - and then some. They try to capture something and put it in a little box when it has a much more intoxicating allure than that, and it underestimates the read. It does have the vampire portion, the Hans C.

Rated 5 starsThe storyline is enthralling and the drawings embellish this dark vivid graphic horror thriller.
