About Vampire Hunter D
Vampire hunter D wanders through a far-future post-nuclear war Earth that combines elements of pulp genres—ranging from Lovecraftian horror to western, science fiction to dark fantasy, folklore to occult science.
In this bizarre and deadly far future, the most dangerous thing of all is not a vampire, but the one who hunts them—the one who is half them—a dhampir, the unearthly beautiful wanderer known as D. This human-vampire hybrid occupies a post-apocalyptic world terrified by the elegant but cruel vampires known as Nobles—a world where his half breed status has obvious advantages… but ultimately means that he belongs to neither faction.
One of the best-selling horror series in history, Vampire Hunter D is a long-running novel series series written by Hideyuki Kikuchi and featuring illustrations by renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano. Launched in 1983, the books have sold more than 17 million copies around the world.
Dark Horse has proudly published these novels in English for many years. As of April 2022, 40 novels have been published in the main series (spanning 52 volumes).
