( ) I loved the artwork in this. Some of the panels reminded me of John Atkinson Grimshaw’s work, especially his moody nighttime pieces. The cover gallery at the end of the book is gorgeous. Historical horror is one of my faves, and I really liked getting this story, set during the first Anglo-Indian Mysore War from 1766-1769, mostly from the perspective of the Indian characters. Some of the supernatural elements were new to me, and that made the story extra interesting. This volume felt like a completed story (the library marked it as volume 1, so maybe there will be more, but the ending was an ending and not a cliffhanger, which I appreciate). Highly recommended. Very nice. Picked it up a while ago and figured it would be a good seasonal read for spooktober. 1776: a vampire has to leave London, as the vampire hunters are after him. So, he goes to India. But India is home to many monsters and gods, not all of them happy about another predator in their midst... La narration empesée, bien que ralentissant le rythme, colle parfaitement à ce qui se rapproche beaucoup d'un conte philosophique, non dénué d'une certaine poésie fin de siècle, pleine de nostalgie romantique. Les dessins de Kumar sont à l'avenant, avec un encrage somptueux et un style graphique assez proche d'un Andy Kubert dans la sveltesse des silhouettes et l'approximation des traits du visage. Les séquences de combat sont brèves, violentes, parfois frustrantes sur le plan de la lisibilité mais là aussi tout à fait en symbiose avec les êtres qui sont dépeints. Une œuvre intrigante et sensible, pleine de charme et de violence, à découvrir. As the British East India Company trying to gobble up the resources of the Indian subcontinent leads to the First Mysore War, British vampires descending on India to gobble blood find themselves in a parallel conflict with a powerful, shapeshifting, mythological being called a rakshasa. The deliberate pace and ominous tone are spiked with thrilling moments of conflict. But I felt a little lost in the political intrigue due to my ignorance of Indian history and the real people featured in this historical fiction. I'd been thinking of putting Ram V on my "don't bother" list of authors, but this and The Many Deaths of Laila Starr have given him a reprieve. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
