Tales of the Vampires #[nn]
In this haunting 2004 tale from Dark Horse, a young Kansas farmer’s life unravels in the 1930s when his mother transforms him into a vampire—then forces him to kill her. Written by Jane Espenson and illustrated by Jeff Parker, this atmospheric story explores the raw, solitary burden of undeath, as the young man grapples with his new existence in a world that no longer feels like home. The cover, a striking piece by Mike Mignola, captures the gothic mood of the tale with its stark, shadowed elegance.
