By Gabe Gonzalez — So, I’m just going to get right to it: I really enjoyed Vampire The Masquerade Winter’s Teeth #3. This is a third issue that demands attention on every panel and every page, doing so with a careful balance of world-building, intrigue, and fantastic narrative flow. The book continues utilizing the modern gothic-horror at its foundation while also bringing in ideas and new spins on creations from the genre’s past. The creative team continues the impressive work of taking a sibling drama spliced with a coming-of-age story and embedding it into a world of crimson chaos.

By Gabe Gonzalez — Within horror stories, perhaps no monster has reached the heights and become as commonplace around the world than the vampire. For centuries, vampires have stimulated the imaginations of billions, first appearing in Germanic poetry in the 1700s. From those earliest appearances, vampire stories have seeded a sexual nature and erotic proclivities into the fibers of the beast, helping the creatures to become steadily-appearing figures in the world’s gothic horror stories.
