Skinner Sweet is suspect number one behind the mystery of the bloodless victims--but could he just be a (blood) red herring? Meanwhile, young police Chief Cash McCogan has his hands full with two FBI agents who may not be what they seem. 'Devil in the Sand' part 2.

This volume follows two stories: one written by Scott Snyder and one written by legendary horror writer Stephen King. In Snyder's story set in 1920s LA, we follow Pearl, a young woman who is turned into a vampire and sets out on a path of righteous revenge against the European vampires who tortured and abused her. This story is paired with King's story, a western about Skinner Sweet, the original American Vampire-a stronger, faster creature than any vampire ever seen before.
