When a small-town beat cop comes home to bury his murdered father, revered Philadelphia detective James Sangster Sr., he stumbles into a mystery that will lead him down a path of horrors and shake his beliefs to their core. The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality...and vampires.

There’s a reason they say you can’t go home again. Welcome to Killadelphia.

Trade Review“It’s the best graphic novel I’ve ever read. Five times more graphic and eight times more novel.” —Chris Rock
“Jason Shawn Alexander is one of my favorite artists working today, and writer Rodney Barnes is the perfect collaborator for this atmospheric horror story with a terrifyingly real sense of place.” —Brian K. Vaughan
“Killadelphia is such a kick-in-the-head, radically brilliant take on modern vampires that you want to rejoice. Tight writing, gorgeous art and yes, genuine scares and laughs. A love letter to the genre and a ransom note to America. My brain is still spinning.” —Patton Oswalt
“Killadelphia is the stunning and fresh horror fable I’ve been craving. This one feels like a classic.” —Jordan Peele
"A dark, deep, seamless story that plays into multiple genres without becoming fully any one of them, the book offers a tantalizing nightmare of urban horror that feels real, rich, and mysterious. It'll infect you if you let it, and you should.” —ComicBook.com
