Vampire Hunter D Volume 27 - volume 27 (First Dark Horse books edition.)

A mixed band of travellers from an inn, spared by seeming chance from a bizarre landslide that rushed and receded like a wave, find shelter in an ancient village older even than the most forsaken settlements on the Frontier!

Once long ago the village was a testing ground of the Sacred Ancestor - that sought to twist the genes of aliens, humans, and Nobles into a new form of life, and now seeks to nourish itself on the travellers and rise again!

Can D save them and destroy the evil legacy - or is his arrival exactly what the village requires for its nightmare to awaken at last?
