(MATURE) These Savage Shores : The Complete Series by Ram V & Sumit Kumar – New Paperback

Journey into the heart of darkness with this brand-new paperback edition of These Savage Shores. Written by the visionary Ram V (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Detective Comics) and featuring the lush, atmospheric artwork of Sumit Kumar, this is an acclaimed masterpiece of historical horror and dark fantasy.

Set against the backdrop of 18th-century India, These Savage Shores is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of colonialism, myth, and the monsters that dwell within both the shadows and the human heart.

The Story

The year is 1766. As the East India Company moves to solidify its grip on the Silk Route and the Indian subcontinent, a different kind of darkness arrives on its shores. Along with the ships of the British Empire comes a legendary vampire, seeking a new hunting ground away from the prying eyes of Europe. But he soon discovers that these ancient lands possess their own shadows, and the predators already lurking in the jungles of Calicut are far older and more dangerous than any beast from the West.

Why This Volume is Essential

• A Modern Masterwork: Ram V delivers a lyrical, poetic script that seamlessly blends historical facts with supernatural horror.

• Breathtaking Artwork: Sumit Kumar’s illustrations, complemented by Vittorio Astone’s rich color palette, capture the vibrant, sweltering atmosphere of 1760s India and the visceral terror of the supernatural.

• Subversive Horror: Far more than a simple vampire story, it serves as a profound allegory for the "monstrous" nature of imperialism and cultural collision.

• The Complete Saga: This volume collects the entire acclaimed five-issue limited series in one high-quality, comprehensive paperback format.
