The picturesque coastal town of Florence was known for millennia as a pleasure resort for the Nobility. As retribution for their decadence, the cruel and beautiful vampire inhabitants were "punished," driven out more than a 1,000 years ago by a solitary traveler in black. Only one — Baron Meinster — refused to leave, only to be thrown to the waves by the mysterious assassin. Summoned to contemporary Florence by Su-in, sister of a murdered village girl, the enigmatic vampire hunter D discovers a vampire curse ravaging the town's human inhabitants. The plague apparently originating, impossibly, from the unforgiving sea — could it be Meinster's Revenge? * There are over 17 million Vampire Hunter D books in print worldwide. * This volume features a cover and six interior illustrations by renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano!
