About this Collection

American Vampire Vol. 5 collects issues #28-34 of the ongoing series, continuing the saga of vampire Skinner Sweet and the Bloody Mary of the American West. This volume spans the 1950s and early 1960s, exploring the rise of the vampire-hunting organization the Vassals of the Morning Star and the emergence of a new, more dangerous breed of undead. Written by Scott Snyder with art by Rafael Albuquerque and Dustin Nguyen, the story delves into the Cold War era's paranoia and the cost of survival in a world where monsters are real.

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 dark ritual to awaken Dracula’s power, the consequences ripple across continents—Gus in London turns on Hobbes, caught in the growing shadow of the vampire lord. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen, with colors by John Kalisz and letters by Steve Wands, this issue’s cover by Rafael Albuquerque captures the creeping dread of a myth made flesh.
