About this ebook

This volume follows two stories: one written by Scott Snyder and one written by legendary horror writer Stephen King. In Snyder's story set in 1920s LA, we follow Pearl, a young woman who is turned into a vampire and sets out on a path of righteous revenge against the European vampires who tortured and abused her. This story is paired with King's story, a western about Skinner Sweet, the original American Vampire-a stronger, faster creature than any vampire ever seen before.

Ratings and reviews

The whole series jumps from history to present to all kinds of things that I can't even bring myself to describe, it's just such an awesome series an Skinner is the type of man you'd love to hate.

Very creative story with compelling art. I am excited to see what the creators do with the world and characters they have made.

Great story. Great art work. I think Book could have been fleshed out more.
