A COLLECTION OF SAITO IZUMI, VAMPIRE TALES
FOR FOUR-HUNDRED YEARS, SAITO IZUMI HAS STRUGGLED WITH WHAT IT MEANS TO BE KYUUKETSUKI—A JAPANESE VAMPIRE!
In Feudal Japan, during an attack on Kumamoto Castle from a horde of swarming yōkai, mythical creatures born from the darkest depths of Japanese folklore, the samurai Saito Izumi will be forever changed. By morning’s dawn, Saito becomes kyuuketsuki, a Japanese vampire!
Join the vampire Saito Izumi in Feudal Japan as she confronts an army of thunder-beasts called raijū, ogre-like oni, and the seductive spider-whore jorōgumo, creatures as diverse as they are deadly, as well as samurai and ninjas, as she battles 18th Century Spanish soldiers and vampires along the Spanish Main, and as she wages war against shapeshifting Mexican nagual, while fighting alongside the likes of Davy Crockett, William Travis, and James Bowie to defend the Alamo.
In this heart-wrenching collection of original stories are four terrifying tales from Saito’s centuries of existing—she doesn’t consider it living—that explore her often dangerous and deep personal journey to understand the blackest darkness of an inhuman soul, to discover what it truly means to live and not simply survive, and most important of all, to learn if a vampire can triumph over evil and truly love again.
