"American Vampire Volume 5" Graphic Novel Review In the world of vampire comic books, there are really only two players right now. You've got Steve Niles' "30 Days of Night" series and Scott Snyder's "American Vampire." Both are the antithesis of what movies and novels are feeding us when it comes to the undead bloodsuckers. The nocturnal creatures in Niles' and Snyder's worlds don't sparkle. Bunx05 said Another Great read. Scott Snyder's tale is brought to life in a way that is both episodic, with each issue filled with pieces of his vampire mythology, and operatic, building those pieces into a tapestry of modern mythology. That he has done this consistently over five volumes now is a staggering feat. Accompanied by some of the best artist in the business, Snyde. Just Buy It Snyders' writing on Batman has received critical acclaim, but frankly this is his real amazing work. American Vampire is the vampire story you want to read if you're not a fan of Vampire Diaries or Twilight. This is for real horror fans. That's not to say this is all slasher type violence, as the relationship of Pearl and Henry is at the heart
