Produktbeschreibung

A thrilling, spine-chilling YA graphic novel from debut author Victoria Setian and Bloom artist Savanna Ganucheau-a modern spin on the classic horror novel Dracula starring the unsung heroine of Bram Stoker's tale. Mina Murray is followed by death . . . At least, that's the rumor in her small town of New Whitby. An aspiring photographer, Mina has a knack for creeping into unsettling locations to find interesting shots; graveyards, crypts, or funeral homes, no place is too weird for her to sneak into. But when a ship named the Demeter crashes on a nearby shore, Mina's explorations uncover a whole new level of weird: Feral dogs, large boxes of dirt, and most notably, the body of the ship's captain, completely drained of blood. Shocked by the grisly scene, Mina sets out to unearth the truth behind what happened on the ship. But the deeper she digs the stranger things get around town. The head editor of her high school's newspaper goes missing. Her best friend falls ill, plagued by nightmares of a massive, terrifying creature. And the handsome new transfer student, Raf, seems to have everyone under his thrall . . . including Mina's crush, Jonathan Harker. It's clear that something ominous is going on, but will Mina be able to figure out who-or what-is the cause? Or is New Whitby doomed to become the hunting ground of this evil . . . forever? Spine-chilling and inspired by the classic horror novel, Children of the Night is perfect for fans of Squad, Wednesday, and Stranger Things.
