Vampire Hunter D Omnibus: Book One

A new omnibus collecting the first three volumes of the Vampire Hunter D horror novel series!

It is 12,090 A.D., thousands of years since the human race nearly destroyed itself in a nuclear war—a folly foreseen by those who waited to emerge out of the underground... not from shelters, but from crypts!

The aristocratic vampire lords known as the Nobles inherited our world, and with dark science and immortal patience made real the things that mortals had merely dreamed, whether voyaging to the distant stars, or conjuring monsters to roam the Earth.

Yet the grand civilization of the Nobles has grown decadent, and as the terrorized remnants of humanity at last found the strength to rebel, their undying lords have been pushed back to the Frontier—the violent borderlands where humans still remain the prey of vampires, who for all their knowledge and power have never lost their obsession with our living flesh, blood... and souls!

In this bizarre and deadly far future, the most dangerous thing of all is not a vampire, but the one who hunts them—the one who is half of them—a dhampir, the unearthly beautiful wanderer known as D.

The Vampire Hunter D Omnibus collects the first three novels in author Hideyuki Kikuchi's adventure horror series: Vampire Hunter D, Raiser of Gales, and Demon Deathchase. Illustrated by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano, this book is only the beginning of a legend!
