Kroniek der Onsterfelijken #4

A pale, hollow-eyed figure huddles in a massive bloodstained wooden throne, long dark hair falling across a gaunt face as gloved hands press thoughtfully to pale lips — Chaiko Cai Feng's cover for this second volume of De Vampier is atmospheric and genuinely unsettling in the best way. Kroniek der Onsterfelijken — adapted from Wolfgang Hohlbein's beloved fantasy novels — brings a brooding, painterly quality to its vampire saga that sets it well apart from the more action-driven end of the genre. If you've been following this Dutch-language series, the second installment of this arc looks like a worthy continuation of its darkly elegant tone.
