The adventures of Vampire Hunter D continue! Vampires: murderous creatures in the shape of humans, they stalk the night feeding on the blood of innocents. Seemingly immortal, they can be destroyed only by the use of a stake through the heart, severing of their heads, or exposure to sunlight. By the year 12,090 AD. vampires have ruled the Earth for almost three hundred years, and it is only these weaknesses that have kept these foul monsters from totally overrunning the world. But what happens when those rules no longer apply? The village of Tsepesh sits in the eternal shadow of an abandoned castle, a onetime stronghold of the Nobility, the vampire lords who rule the devastated wasteland of the future. Ten years ago, four children disappeared while playing near the castle, only to mysteriously reappear a month later. Now vampires have begun to hunt in the daylight. Are the two events connected? The villagers turn to the vampire hunter known only as D, but as he follows the children, now adults, the answers he finds may be more terrifying than anything he could ever imagine. FOR MATURE READERS Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music! Performed by Scott McCormick, David Cui Cui, Taylor Coan, Steve Wannall, John Kielty, Terence Aselford, Michael John Casey, Rayner Gabriel, Niusha Nawab, Karen Novack, Alex Hill-Knight, Bradley Foster Smith,, Christopher Walker, Mark Harrietha, Yasmin Tuazon, Chris Stinson, Mort Shelby, Rose Elizabeth Supan, Matthew Schleigh, Colleen Delany, Triya Leong, Kelly Baskin and Shanta Parasuraman.… (more)

D must fight with the leftover experiments of some great Noble Doctor, vampires who can live in the daylight.

Bloody, sexual and just pulp fiction. This stuff is about on the same level, literary wise, as the Mars series. Shallow and action instead of plot. ( )
