Below we have included a quote from creator Denilo Beyruth in regards to the graphic novel followed by the exclusive behind the scenes concept art to share with you courtesy of Titan Comics.
“I incubated the idea for Love Kills for years before putting it on paper. Thestory didn't begin with a clear plot; rather, it started with a vivid image of avampire. Unlike the conventional charming and beautiful vampire, this onerepresented the core characteristic of the vampire myth: unquenchablehunger. Thus, Leander, a creature embodying this insatiable thirst, took shapeas a central character in the story.” - Creator Denilo Beyruth
