'These Savage Shores Vol. 1' by Ram V with art by Sumit Kumar is a story of monsters in an India that is in conflict with Europe in the mid-1700s.
When an English vampire goes too far in England, he is sent to Calicut by ship. Once there, he meets his death at the hands of a creature that is sworn to protect his land. The conflict for this land shows that we are all capable of being monsters, but this particular tale takes on the shape of a tragedy in the poignant ending.
I didn't think we needed another vampire tale, but the setting and time period brings a real freshness to the story. The inherent tragedy of these sort of stories is ramped up nicely here. The art by Sumit Kumar is a standout.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Vault Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

The second Ram V's work I have finished. To describe it shortly, it is exquisitely made and grips attention with its tight storyline and impactful art. The main characters leaves a strong impression along with the eye-pleasing backgrounds. The idea of monsters sometimes could be boring, but this comic disproves that well.

Very nice. Picked it up a while ago and figured it would be a good seasonal read for spooktober.
1776: a vampire has to leave London, as the vampire hunters are after him. So, he goes to India. But India is home to many monsters and gods, not all of them happy about another predator in their midst...
