Witness the birth of a brand new species of vampire in the first of five extra-sized issues featuring back-to-back stories by author Scott Snyder and the master of horror himself, Stephen King!

When notorious outlaw Skinner Sweet is attacked by an old enemy (who happens to be a member of the undead), the first American vampire is born... a vampire powered by the sun, stronger, fiercer, and meaner than anything that came before.

Plus... Pearl Jones is a struggling young actress in 1920's Los Angeles.
But when her big break brings her face-to-face with an ancient evil, her Hollywood dream quickly turns into a brutal, shocking nightmare.

This is the beginning of an epic new series, spanning decades and generations, and it all begins here.
