Description

Woodstake

A blood-soaked mashup of vampire myth, rock history, and the counterculture of the late 1960s

Woodstake is a wickedly clever spin on the Dracula legend, reimagined against the backdrop of the iconic Woodstock festival of 1969. When a vampire descends on the summer of love, a generation of hippies is forced to survive three days of peace, music, and blood in this darkly funny, genre-bending thrill ride. A razor-sharp blend of satire, horror, and ‘60s nostalgia, Woodstake offers a wildly original story brought vividly to life through the bold, evocative artwork of Felipe Kroll. It is a must-read for fans of classic rock, genre mashups, and blood-soaked storytelling.

With its unique blend of Woodstock-era atmosphere and vampire horror, Woodstake stands out as a wild, cult-horror crossover that feels both nostalgic and fiercely original. This gripping graphic novel delivers a character-driven narrative paired with a bold visual style that brings the late '60s to life, complete with period-authentic detail, psychedelic flair, and sharp dark humor. Ideal for readers of horror comics, supernatural thrillers, and music history, Woodstake bridges genres in a way that is fresh, immersive, and unforgettable.

Advance Praise

Woodstake is “sharp and hilarious... Kroll’s sumptuous, photorealistic artwork and lavish color palette capture the dark atmospheric dread of the story alongside the kaleidoscopic psychedelia of the festival… The ending will leave readers hungry for the next installment.”

Booklife/Publishers Weekly (Editor’s Pick)

“A free-spirited, blood-thirsty horror story set at history’s greatest rock concert. The psychedelic horror story finds a suitable match in the full-color artwork by Kroll, who blends painting and digital effects to achieve an uncanny richness. Fans of Woodstock and vampires both will find much to enjoy in this chilling volume.”

Kirkus Reviews

Woodstake is “a blood-soaked, action-packed story full of rock-and-roll references with a dash of romance and some well-placed puns. The photorealistic artwork with layered horror and psychedelic elements adds a unique vibe to the story...readers who love immersive horror will especially enjoy this book."

IndieReader

Woodstake is “an imaginative take on the classic single-location horror story that benefits from the accompanying claustrophobia and isolation…a rollicking graphic novel about a vampire among hippies.”
