Theo, a 500 year old Vampire, has made a new home in a small town in Western Massachusetts, stalking it's residents in search of the perfect humans to spirit away to replace her lost brood. After all, a home is nothing without a family...
Best friends, Ed and Liam, are spending a long weekend together only to find themselves victims of a violent attack. They quickly come to find out their assailant is an unhinged elderly Vampire named Theo. Before the night is over, the two find themselves not only abducted, but locked away behind the walls of Theo's rotting home as unwilling members of her new brood. More hellish still, they've become undead themselves.
Each passing night plunges the two friends deeper into Theo's putrefying nightmare of a world. It doesn't take them long to understand running isn't an option. After all, when you've become one of the undead yourself where can you call home except with the creature who made you?
Ed and Liam must learn to navigate Theo's world if they want to survive it.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"An original and inventive vampire tale, with a playfully human perspective. The art and writing are thoroughly immersive, I fell in love with all of the characters!"-Monica Richard, musician and founding member of seminal DC punk bands Strange Boutique and Faith and the Muse "Sian Mandrake has created an all new and thoughtful take on the vampire mythos with Blood of the Taken. A must-have for bloodsucker fans."-Steve Niles, author of 30 Days of Night, October Faction, and Batman: Gotham After Midnight "Sian Mandrake and the creatives behind Blood of the Taken have shown us that the yearning to be loved crosses all boundaries...even the line between life and death." - Erica Schultz, author of Daredevil: Woman Without Fear and Spawn: Rat City "With as much heart as there is brutal vampire violence, Sian's creative storytelling and prodigious artistic skill renders Blood of the Taken an absolute gem for any fan of the genre."-Armand Bodnar, creator of Tales of the Frog Knight
