Pearl is still such a wonderful main character. Once again Snyder has managed to meld themes of America with his vampire mythology, and I was so here for it. So we have a new mystery, we have new trajectories for our favorite characters, and we have a new backdrop of the 1960s that was an incredibly restless and fraught era of change, violence, and social upheaval. Meanwhile, Skinner has been making moves on the Mexican Border, but he, too, runs afoul something disturbing, so much so that he seeks out Pearl. She’s still connected with Cal, who is still working with VMS, and after getting hints of a man called The Gray Trader, they decide to look into what he is, and how it connects to the vampires. Pearl has returned to her family home in Kansas, and has started taking in runaway vampire children who are hiding from Carpathian vampires, and finds new, hidden homes for them with other vampires in hiding. It’s now the 1960s in America, about tenish-years after the Vassals of the Morning Star was dealt a big blow by Carpathians, after Pearl’s husband Henry’s death, and after Skinner disappeared after his betrayal. We have shifted into a new phase of “American Vampire”, and have entered the ending arc as well, and we start out very strong. The new beginning was engaging, the stakes were raised, and what I thought was impossible actually came to pass: I.

And I don’t really know why I didn’t keep going with it, because as I was reading this, I found myself really, really enjoying where the story was going. And as I was reading through it, I think I realized that I may not have actually finished “American Vampire: Volume 7” on my first read through, as I did not remember a lot of what I was reading beyond the first section.

Review: So we are now at the last volume of “American Vampire” that I read until I just kind of let it fall by the wayside. But what has changed in the years since the V.M.S. When we meet Pearl again, it is in 1960’s Kansas, an era fraught with fear of nuclear war, angry demonstrations and vast social change.
