DUDE! RIGHT ON! Woodstake is a tense and involving vampire nightmare exploding with fangastic, smart art. I loved this fast-paced page-turner with its refashioning of Dracula's victims and enemies. --Nancy Holder, New York Times Bestselling Author and Horror Writers Association Lifetime Achievement Award

"Woodstake is an epic joyride of heavy duty horror and deadpan humor, a brilliant mash-up that marries the Victorian origins of Stoker's bloodsucker with the acid-fueled Summer of Peace and Love in the muddy murk of Max Yasgur's farm. Felipe Kroll's art brings a rich, saturated noir imagery to Darin Cape's smart-talk and smoldering narrative. This is a graphic novel as savory and sexy as a perfect Bloody Mary. Highly recommended!" --Jay Bonansinga, the New York Times bestselling co-author of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor and Stan Lee's The Devil's Quintet: The Armageddon Code

"Imagine hippies vs. vampires in the midst of history's greatest music event and you'll get some idea of the splattery fun to be had in Woodstake. With glowing art by Felipe Kroll and a fun script by Darin S. Cape filled with rock references, Woodstake is a treat for horror, music, and comics fans!" --Lisa Morton, six-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award

A vampire infiltrates Woodstock in this suspenseful, darkly funny reimagining of the Dracula legend. Cape imbues the eerie escapade with rich period ambience and Kroll's sumptuous artwork captures the dark, kaleidoscopic psychedelia of the festival. A Booklife editor's pick. --Booklife

"A free-spirited, blood-thirsty horror story set at history's greatest rock concert. Fans of Woodstock and vampires both will find much to enjoy in this chilling volume." --Kirkus Reviews

"A blood-soaked, action-packed story full of rock-and-roll references with a dash of romance. The photorealistic artwork with layered horror and psychedelic elements adds a unique vibe...readers who love immersive horror will especially enjoy this book." --Cameron Gillespie, Indie Reader
