Dracula meets manga in this surreally beautiful and chilling retelling of Bram Stoker’s quintessential horror classic.

In this beautiful, evocative, and often surreal retelling of Dracula, a fearsome enemy comes from the east, bringing with it horrors the likes of which have never been seen in the British Empire. Standing opposed are Wilhelmina “Mina” Murray and her stalwart companions, united in a cabal that eclipses gender, nationality, and station until the day that they can achieve victory.

Mina’s world begins to unravel as her connection to Jonathan Harker reveals the secrets of his journey to Castle Dracula—as well as the unthinkable fate that befell him. Now, with Mina already reeling from the loss of one of the most important people in her life, will she be able to stand strong as the Camellia Club seeks to save the soul of her beloved midnight friend through the mercy of a true death?

Shin’ichi Sakamoto debuted as a manga artist in 1990. His series The Climber and Innocent have both won the Excellence Awards at the Japan Media Arts Festival. His series #DRCL midnight children is available from VIZ Media.
