American Vampire Books

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. Collects American Vampire #1-5

While trafficking in a bestselling sub-genre, AMERICAN VAMPIRE introduces a new strain of vampire -- a more muscular and vicious species, born of the American West. It's Las Vegas circa 1935, and Skinner Sweet and our gal Pearl are about to learn the hard way that the bloodsuckers in Hollywood were nothing compared to what awaits them in Sin City. In just a few short years, young police Chief Cash McCogan has watched his native city of Las Vegas go from cow-town to wild, glittering boomtown. And when the bodies of prominent businessmen start showing up drained of blood, Chief McCogan finds himself facing a threat much darker and deadlier than anything he could have imagined . . . and the only sure bet in town is that Skinner and Pearl are right in the thick of it.

Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque’s award-winning series continues! Welcome to the ’60s. It’s a turbulent time to be an American… but especially an American Vampire. While the rest of the nation uneasily watches the spread of communism across the world stage, the three surviving Abominus Americana—Pearl Jones, Skinner Sweet and Calvin Poole—are fighting a battle much closer to home. An evil right underneath their feet. The Gray Trader, the nearest thing to the devil this world has ever seen, is summoning an ancient beast from the depths of the Earth.  The original and oldest evil, this abomination would devour the world if freed. To prevent it, the American Vampires will have to fight the Gray Trader on two fronts, with one team targeting a top-secret government stronghold known as Area 51 and the other heading up—way up—into the Final Frontier! But can such an ambitious plan succeed when one of their own has already been compromised by the Beast? Collects AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SECOND CYCLE #6-11.

A living legend's last ride. It's 1976, and America is doomed. Trust between the government and the American public has crumbled, paranoia reigns, and the devil himself is about to unleash hell on Earth—just in time for the nation's bicentennial. American Vampire Skinner Sweet isn’t doing so hot himself. A decade after his last heroic efforts robbed him of immortality, he’s done fighting and determined to go out with a bang—in fact, he’s closer than ever to his death wish when his estranged protégée, Pearl Preston, wields a tempting secret to recruit him for one final mission: the weapon they need to retrieve in order to save the world is also the last hope of restoring Skinner’s powers. But with catastrophe looming and redemption on the line, Skinner, Pearl, and their old teammates will need to put the past behind them before they can change the course of history. Creators SCOTT SNYDER and RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE reunite alongside FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA, TULA LOTAY, and RICARDO LÓPEZ ORTIZ for American Vampire 1976 , collecting all 12 issues of the concluding sequel to the Eisner Award-winning American Vampire .
