A sapphic supernatural YA graphic novel featuring a vampire crushing on the girl hunting her, from the author of Some Girls Do and the illustrator of Wonder Woman: Warbringer. Poe never imagined that during her senior year of high school she would be attacked by a pair of vampires and turned into one herself. And she never dreamed her longtime crush, Jolie—who seemed to maybe actually like Poe back—would turn out to be a slayer. When Jolie drives a wooden stake into her chest, Poe's heart is broken at the betrayal. But somehow she survives the slaying, and when she awakens, it's unclear which is stronger inside her: the thirst for blood, or the thirst for revenge on Jolie. Now the hunter has become the hunted. But, when the girls come face to face again, Jolie seems overjoyed that Poe is still alive. And beneath Poe's rage remains a burning passion of a different sort. Can a vampire and a slayer ever be more to each other than predator and prey?

本作の魅力は、吸血鬼とハンターという古典的な対立構造を借りて、少女たちの剥き出しの感情を鮮烈に描いた点にあります。著者のデューガンは、思春期特有の危うい恋心を「生と死」の境目へと追い込み、単なるロマンスを超えた魂のぶつかり合いへと昇華させました。殺意と渇望が交互に押し寄せるスリリングな心理描写は、グラフィックノベルならではの濃密な抒情性を放っています。 捕食者と獲物が入れ替わる残酷な運命のなかで、彼女たちは「愛と憎しみは両立しうるのか」という根源的な問いに直面します。復讐心と情熱が未分化のまま燃え上がる展開は、読者の心を激しく揺さぶるでしょう。敵対する相手の中にこそ真実の理解を求める彼女たちの姿は、矛盾に満ちた愛の形を肯定する、美しくも苛烈な青春譚として私たちの胸に深く突き刺さります。
