The Pander Brothers have teamed with Dark Horse Comics to release GirlFIEND in Paris: A Bloodthirsty Bedtime Story, an original graphic novel written in poetic verse.
The fugitive romance continues between Karina, a day-walking vampire and Nick, a nocturnal mortal. Living out their storybook fantasy in Paris by day and hunting down criminals by night to feed Karina’s hunger, Nick’s moral line continues to be pushed to the limit. When Karina discovers her latest prey holds a dark criminal secret, it will put their immortal love-pact to the test when they attempt to rescue an innocent girl from a deadly underworld plot.
“We wanted to magnify the idea of the protagonists living out their “fairytale fantasy” in Paris by depicting the narrative itself in literal fairytale storybook verse,” Arnold describes in a press release from Dark Horse Comics.
“GirlFIEND in Paris was born out of the Covid lockdown,” Jacob explains, “With both of us working in separate locations, we decided to take a different approach by making the story more intimate in its tone – a Paris romance novella to reacquaint the readers with these two characters, and allow the complexity of their relationship to grow and evolve.
“While also delivering a solid dose of horror and action that is expected from GirlFIEND,” said Arnold “It is a dark fairytale after all.”
GirlFIEND in Paris: A Bloodthirsty Bedtime Story will be released as a hardcover on October 12, 2022, with a cover price of $19.99.
