“There are no vampires in Japan. That is the position of the Emperor. The Emperor is wrong...”

Japan, 1899. A party of vampires – exiled from Britain by Prince Dracula – seeks refuge in Tokyo and are confined to Yokai Town, a ghetto where the Meiji Emperor keeps the country’s vampires – bizarre creatures as different from European nosferatu as they are from living humans. Dr Geneviève Dieudonné, Kostaki, a soldier, Daniel Dravot, a spy, and Christina Light, a revolutionary princess, try to survive in Yokai Town as forces within and outside its walls threaten to destroy the newcomers and the long-time residents. What secret lies under the Temple of One Thousand Monsters?



Why I'm Waiting: Because I love this series and Genevieve Dieudonne!

HAPPY READING!

    1. Totally! I love his take on the Dracula lore, and the series jumps through history and brings in some iconic players with each different era. I will say it is super violent at times, but I adore this series!!
