The horror icon Vampirella returns to her roots, courtesy of Bram Stoker
Award-winning author Nancy A. Collins (Sunglasses After Dark)! Vampirella
is sent by the Vatican to investigate the kidnapping of a little girl by Ethan
Shroud and the Chaos Cult, only to become the centerpiece of a ritual invoking
Lady Umbra, the sister-bride of Chaos, that leaves her marked as a living
sacrifice to the dark goddess who rules the shadows. Hunted by the Mallus
Maleficarum, an elite hit-squad of monster-killers also known as "The
Witch-Hammer", she finds her world abruptly turned upside down... and herself
unexpectedly allied with the strangest bedfellow imaginable!
