I found myself entranced by the sheer depth to practically every panel. There's a richness to the detail, and a gruesome starkness only appreciated in true black and white. It's beautiful, mesmerizing, and horrific... This is a must for fans of horror, vampires, and the legend of Vlad the Impaler. --Sequential Tart, 10 out of 10 review
