VAMPYRE HC A COSTA RICAN FOLKTALE (03 Jun Release)

Set in the same world as Delgado's DRACULA OF TRANSYLVANIA¸ VAMPYRE: A HORROR FOLKTALE is a vampiric supernatural prose tale set in 1940s Costa Rica. It's part folktale¸ part autobiographic and is told in both English and Spanish. Inspired by the classic 1980s illustrated novella CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF by Stephen King and Bernie Wrightson¸ this bilingual story is both a gruesome tale of the occult and a touching depiction of mid-century Costa Rican life. A beautiful hardcover¸ it includes over 250 pages crammed with historical maps¸ creature designs and photos of actual locations from the story both then and now. It's also a historical perspective of Delgado's parents' lives in the small town in Costa Rica where they grew up¸ but with the fictional (or is it?) horror element of a vampire added in.
