About this Collection

This second volume of Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque's acclaimed horror series continues the saga of Pearl Jones and Skinner Sweet as they navigate the treacherous world of vampire politics in 1930s America. Collecting issues #6-11, the story expands the mythology with a new breed of vampires and explores the dark history of the American West through flashbacks to Sweet's origins.

In "Devil in the Sand, Part One," the secretive Vassals of the Morning Star emerge as a formidable force in the war against ancient vampires, with members Felicia Camillo and Jack Straw joining Chief Cash McCogan in tracking down a deadly threat tied to the Consortium of Four. Meanwhile, Abilena Camillo and Linden Hobbes seek answers from Pearl Jones, pressing her with a single, urgent question: how do you kill an American vampire? Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated with haunting detail by Rafael Albuquerque, with colors by Dave McCaig and letters by Steve Wands, this issue’s cover by Rafael Albuquerque captures the tension in a stark, atmospheric image.
