“It’s time for the vampires to inherit the earth.” – Joshua Hale Fialkov
On Friday, MTV GEEK chatted with I, VAMPIRE writer Joshua Hale Fialkov about what to expect from his upcoming series.
“Vampires are an endangered species,” Fialkov teased of the book’s premise. “Andrew managed to convince Mary to make the vampires go into hiding. They stop feeding so that they stop being hunted. But, for years now, they've been living like second class citizens, and Mary can't take anymore. Our book starts with Mary telling Andrew that she's done getting pushed around, and it's time for the vampires to inherit the earth.”
I, VAMPIRE #1 goes on sale September 28th.
