Description
BLACK CARAVAN IMPRINT: Every great legend has a beginning and horror stories are no different. However, our tale-as it is based on a true story-begins at the very end. The legendary Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory is dead, and gravediggers are assigned to relocate her corpse. But who was she really? Was she a monster or a victim? Here we witness Elizabeth's birth and childhood, and see the earliest moments of her life through her eyes. This includes her first encounter with death and blood that awakens the beasts that lurk in her innocent, yet twisted mind. With an introduction by Vampire: The Masquerade's Mark Rein-Hagen. Retailer Incentives: Retailers purchasing ten copies of Cover A (1:10) of VANITY #1 can order 1 copy of Cover B by ABIGAIL LARSON. Please reach out to your CS rep with questions about retailer incentives.
