GOTHIC TALE RISES FROM THE GRAVE
Independent publisher announces vampire graphic novel
Different Mousetrap Press of North Carolina has announced a potent, gripping graphic novel, titled Von Herling, Vampire Hunter, due for release in March 2014.
Von Herling, Vampire Hunter is a pulse-pounding tale of the Gothic and supernatural, rendered in the mesmerizing medium of pen & ink. “Von Herling is a throwback to the time-honored Gothic horror tradition,” the publisher
said in its official statement, “We want to move away from postmodern depictions of vampires as tragic and sympathetic.”
In this stunning tale, the precocious August Von Herling arrives in the town of Richten in Eastern Tennessee. He’s hot on the trail of the vampire, Vlad Magnus. Can the sophisticated Von Herling save the town and the whole Southeastern United States from this unholy terror?
Von Herling is being written and illustrated by the trailblazing creator, Max West. A resident of Greensboro, North Carolina, Mr. West is renowned for his cutting-edge comics series, Sunnyville Stories, and has garnered attention from the admired Library Journal. The Library Journal describes Mr. West’s creation as having “clean artwork and an idyllic story line.”
Von Herling, Vampire Hunter is set for nationwide release in spring 2014. It will be offered through various retailers and wholesale through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, and the dependable Brodart Company of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Early artwork and sample pages have met with a spectacular response. Different Mousetrap Press has also announced an immediate sequel in the near future.
