Synopsis

Vampires: murderous creatures in the shape of humans, they stalk the night feeding on the blood of innocents. Seemingly immortal, they can be destroyed only by the use of a stake through the heart, severing of their heads, or exposure to sunlight. By the year 12,090 AD. vampires have ruled the Earth for almost three hundred years, and it is only these weaknesses that have kept these foul monsters from totally overrunning the world.

But what happens when those rules no longer apply? The village of Tsepesh sits in the eternal shadow of an abandoned castle, a onetime stronghold of the Nobility, the vampire lords who rule the devastated wasteland of the future. Ten years ago four children disappeared while playing near the castle, only to mysteriously reappear a month later. Now vampires have begun to hunt in the daylight. Are the two events connected? The villagers turn to the vampire hunter known only as D, but as he follows the children, now adults, the answers he finds may be more terrifying than anything he could ever imagine.

However, in this installment, eventhough it was enjoyable throughout with its amazing art work and typical chock full of D’s amazing col......more

So far, this is the best volume of Vampire Hunter D. D winds up in a village where everyone has dreamed of him. He is directed to the hospital. Once there the director takes him to a young woman. She has been bitten by a vampire, the twist she has been in a coma for 30 years!......more

Although D is still gorgeous and amazing, I couldn't really catch the story of this one. It's a dream within a dream that's clear, but how and why and what were the motivations of certain characters here...? Everyone was made up by the sleeping girl and they had realised they're only exist in her dre......more
