Story

The Book of Nosferatu tells the origin of the infamous vampiric monster Nosferatu.  You may think you know the story, set aside your assumptions, This tale is unlike any vampire tale you have read! Every monster has a beginning…


A full color 100 page+ hardcover NSFW vampire tale of unrestrained gothic horror written by Michael Moreci (Barbaric & Dick Tracy) and illustrated by Todor Hristov (Stranger Things)!


Emil’s wife is missing. 


No one in his village will do anything about it. 


No one will even speak of it.


It’s like she never even existed. 

 

But she existed to Emil, and he’s going to get her back.

 

Emil’s wife didn’t simply vanish, she was taken

 

It’s the dark truth everyone knows, but no one will even dare speak of. It’s a curse, a blight, an unstoppable disease for which there is no treatment. 

 

But if you’re already dead—as Emil feels without the love of his life—what harm can he really suffer?
