Not only is this a vampire romance it’s a vampire May-to-December, interracial, gay romance. Heck, I loved the whole thing! While also blushing profusely and counting my lucky starts that I devoured this in bed with the flu and not, say, on the train during a city commute like I’d originally planned to. Because, yes, this is *explicit* erotica that I was not prepared for. They just said “Heikkilä’s skill with expressions and body language are a little overwhelming” which I clearly brushed over (though to be fair, I could have deep-dived and found their original review which did stress the fact of ‘explicit erotica’). Club did not warn that ‘Letters for Lucardo’ is an erotic graphic novel. I will say that in the condensed listicle style, A.V. So I decided to start here, and boy – am I glad I did. I actually marked quite a few of the listed works for eventual purchase, but this one jumped out at me because it was marked as an LGBT+ vampire romance (and I do loves me some vampire and paranormal romance).

Club – a pop-culture website I greatly admire.

I first heard about this book in a round-up of the best graphic novels and comic books of 2017, put out by The A.V. ‘Letters for Lucardo’, written and illustrated by Noora Heikkilä is the first graphic novel in a planned four-part series from Iron Circus Comics.
