75/150 I didn't realise this was volume 2 going into it, but it was easy to pick up the story anyway. I also didn't plan to read another vampire story so soon after the last one, but this reminded me more of the old Universal monster movies of the 30s & 40s but with a bit more blood and gore. Very atmospheric artwork really set the mood for the story, and of course a cliffhanger ending to go on to the next volume. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

Bookwomble I did the same thing - picked this out at the library without realising it was #2, but found it easy to get into. Pretty good story and artwork 😊 7mo

A bit early for Halloween, but this GN caught my eye in the library. It's the 2nd in the series, but the setup is straightforward: WWI ended after 2 years due to a pandemic plague, followed by a resurgence of vampires! Lord Henry Baltimore apparently lost a leg to über-vamp Haigus in the last volume, not to mention having to send his undead family to their stake-death, so Baltimore's blood is hot for vampire slaying! Fangtastic! 🦇🧛🏻‍♂️🦇

Bookwomble Finished! It was pretty good, and I'd be happy to read the others in the series, though for some reason the big library I go to only ever has the books from the middle of a series, never those from the beginning or end - I'm barely organised enough to order them, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ This worked ok as a stand-alone 'episode' in an ongoing arc, though, so 4🦇 1y

dabbe From what I've heard from some Litsy folk, it's never too early for Halloween. 🎃 1y

Bookwomble @dabbe It does appear that way! 👻🏚️😄 1y
