A tale of two vampires in the Twin Cities…
When Cecily Bain, an enforcer for the Twin Cities’ vampiric elite, takes a
mysterious new vampire, Alejandra, under her wing, she’s dragged into an
insidious conspiracy. After learning a disturbing fact about her fake child’s
past, Cecily must keep her secrets close, and Ali at arm’s length. As she
searches the streets of the Twin Cities for answers, a terrifying possibility
surfaces: perhaps Ali has learned the ways of the Kindred better than Cecily
herself. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the cities, Colleen Pendergrass,
embraced by her husband against her will, and a rebellious found-family of
vampire cast-outs investigates a vicious killing.
As the unlives of the Kindred twine together and betrayals are unearthed, will
Cecily be able to escape and save what’s left of her family, or will she be yet
another pawn sacrificed to maintain the age-old secret: that vampires exist
among the living?
Cecily Bain has become everything she never wanted as The Prince of the Twin
Cities. But her rule over a fractured, backbiting vampire court is interrupted
by an intruder: something big, hairy, and full of teeth. For over a century,
werewolves of the Twin Cities have protected their blessed places from threats
both physical and spiritual. When vampires under Cecily’s rule move in on one
of these precious sites, it’s a declaration of war, one that Tyrell ‘the
Stainless’ Stinar and his ferocious pack will avenge at any cost, even if that
includes slaying one of their own. The immortal enmity between the Kindred and
the Garou comes to a head on the streets of the Twin Cities!

As I started reading VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE, it reminded me of the short-lived '90s television series Kindred: The Embraced and I later realized they're both based on the old tabletop role-playing game. The comic book series takes place in the fictitious gothic-punk World of Darkness, which is in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota, and is home to immortal vampires known as Kindred. Known as the Masquerade, they hide their existence from humans for their own protection.
This edition includes issues #1–10 of VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE: Winter's Teeth and issues #1–3 of the crossover event series VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE and World of Darkness: Crimson Thaw. Each VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE issue had two stories: the Winter's Teeth and The Anarch Tales.
VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE: THE COMPLETE SERIES is a gory, terrifying story with a lot of bite, and overall, I liked it. The primary, overarching plot was brilliantly crafted and included much world-building. The graphics have a nostalgic early 1990s feel about them. I don't know if this was deliberate, but it works great here. I heartily suggest the book to other horror enthusiasts and vampire lovers. ╌★★★★★
