About this Collection

This volume collects issues #28-34 of the ongoing series, continuing the saga of Pearl Jones and the Skinner Sweet lineage as the narrative jumps between the 1950s and the 1960s. Written by Scott Snyder with art by Rafael Albuquerque and others, this arc delves into the rise of a new breed of vampire hunters and the dark secrets of the vampiric bloodlines.

In "Lord of Nightmares," Hobbes presses Felicia to believe the terrifying truth: Dracula is real, not just a story. As Glass delivers the coffin to the Soviets and performs a ritual that awakens something ancient, the consequences ripple across continents—Gus in London turns on Hobbes, caught in the escalating nightmare. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen, with colors by John Kalisz and letters by Steve Wands, the cover by Rafael Albuquerque captures the creeping dread of a world unraveling.
