Featuring short stories "Shadow Wife," the tale of the vengeful
swordsman prodigy Hisama Sakakibara, and "The Crawler," the story
of stubborn treasury official Genbei Chitsugi, this masterpiece
collection of historical ghost stories depicts the pathos of
lower-class samurai who live for and are held captive by the
sword.
A mysterious bead and a young woman's dying wish have brought D to
the seashore village of Florence-a town that's perpetually stuck in
winter. Summer comes to this shore but one week a year and it
brings something more than just the warm weather-the sole-surviving
Noble comes out of hiding too! That rare bead may hold all the
secrets of the Nobility and humans. With such an enticing artifact
in his hand (literally!), D is doggedly pursued by the henchmen of
the young woman's murderer. These unscrupulous assassins have no
qualms using the dead woman's sister as bait to draw out D, but the
mysterious Noble has other designs on her. Finally remembering what
he has been seeking all these years, the Noble won't let anything
get in his way-even a notorious vampire hunter like D!

The Nobility have captured a young Frontierswoman named Tae and
held her captive for eight years, and her prison - the remote
Castle Gradinia - can only be accessed by those brave (or
senseless) enough to cross into the no-man''s-land known as the
Outer Frontier. The mysterious "people finder" Granny Viper has
been charged with the recovery of the girl...but can she trust her
hired escorts, the notoriously shifty Bullow Brothers? In a race
across treacherous terrain, it will be up to D to lead the charge
and level all enemies on this rescue mission! Vampire Hunter D is
famed horror-master Hideyuki Kikuchi''s revolutionary tale of a
beautiful Hunter and the war he is destined to wage against the
bloodthirsty Nobility! D must intervene when the recapture of a
young woman kidnapped by the Nobility is waylaid by a band of
deviants whose unparalleled cruelty threatens the very lives of the
rescue party! Will D make it across a vast desert and out of
harm''s way in time to save the girl?
"In a world where even the smallest and most remote village is
being terrorized by the monsters that stalk the night, there is a
hamlet, prosperous and peaceful, where mortals and vampires have
lived in peace for years. It is there that sleeping beauty, Sheavil
Schmidt, has slept, neither waking nor aging, for thirty years
since first receiving the vampire's immortal kiss. The mysterious
Vampire Hunter D is lured to the tranquil oasis by recurrent dreams
of the beautiful, undying girl bathed in an eerie blue light and
dancing in a ghostly chateau."--Amazon.com.
