Dracula meets manga in this surreally beautiful and chilling retelling of Bram Stoker’s quintessential horror classic. In this beautiful, evocative, and often surreal retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a fearsome enemy comes from the east, bringing with it horrors the likes of which have never been seen in the British Empire. Standing opposed are Wilhelmina “Mina” Murray and her stalwart companions, united in a cabal that eclipses gender, nationality, and station until the day that they can achieve victory. With Lucy’s life hanging in the balance, tempers flare and tensions rise as Arthur, Quincey, Joe, and Mina struggle to decide who is best suited to offer aid to their precious friend. However, the sudden appearance of Count Dracula may render all their efforts for naught. Will centuries of humanity’s collected knowledge be enough to hold back the count’s advance, or will wisdom and logic falter in the face of the undead king’s maddening presence?
