Description
About the Book
"A new omnibus collecting the first three volumes of Vampire Hunter D! It is 12,090 A.D., thousands of years since the human race nearly destroyed itself in a nuclear war--a folly foreseen by those who waited to emerge out of the underground... not from shelters, but from crypts! The aristocratic vampire lords known as the Nobles inherited our world, and with dark science and immortal patience made real the things that mortals had merely dreamed, whether voyaging to the distant stars, or conjuring monsters to roam the Earth. Yet the grand civilization of the Nobles has grown decadent, and as the terrorized remnants of humanity at last found the strength to rebel, their undying lords have been pushed back to the Frontier--the violent borderlands where humans still remain the prey of vampires, who for all their knowledge and power have never lost their obsession with our living flesh, blood... and souls! In this bizarre and deadly far future the most dangerous thing of all is not a vampire, but the one who hunts them--the one who is half them--a dhampir, the unearthly beautiful wanderer known as D."--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
A new omnibus collecting volumes four, five and six of the Vampire Hunter D horror novel series! The hunt continues in the bizarre far future of 12,090 A.D, where the immortal vampire lords who were the only winners of mankind's nuclear war still oppress the human survivors who have pushed the blood-drinking fiends back to the lawless Frontier. Yet humanity too remains as quick as ever to prey upon itself, and where the law can't bring safety or justice, the crescent blade of D will--assuming you meet the half-vampire wanderer's price! A wondrous floating city, long a drifting sanctuary against marauding creatures, has its peace violently shattered by invasion...a village where humans and vampires live in harmony hangs upon the endless sleep of a beautiful dreamer, bitten decades past by the undead Nobility...a wizened crone named Granny Viper with a reputation for recovering abductees on the Frontier finds she's chosen the wrong allies in rescuing a young girl. These are only the beginnings of the strange adventure stories into which steps Vampire Hunter D! The Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Two collects volumes four, five, and six in author Hideyuki Kikuchi's adventure horror series: Tale of the Dead Town, The Stuff of Dreams, and Pilgrimage of the Sacred and the Profane. Illustrated by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano, the legend of D endures!Review Quotes
"Mixing a slew of genres including fantasy, western, steampunk, Victorian romance, occult and horror, the world lore in Vampire Hunter D has a little bit of something for everyone."--BloodyDisgusting
