Pet Shop of Horrors: Collector’s Edition Vol. 01
The cult hit classic returns in a beautiful new Collector’s Edition with an all-new translation!
In the depths of Chinatown lies a curious pet shop. There, it’s said you can find any animal you desire, no matter how fantastical…or dangerous. The city is plagued with strange accidents, and somehow, pets from that shop always seem to be involved. Detective Leon Orcot is determined to pin the blame on Count D, the shop’s caretaker. But the beautiful man is just as enigmatic as his pets—and he certainly isn’t talking.
Series Overview: A smoke-filled alley in Chinatown harbors Count D’s Pet Shop. The pets sold here aren’t your everyday variety and the Count prides himself on selling Love and Dreams in the form of magical creatures that come with an exclusive contract. But buyers beware. If the contract is broken the Count cannot be held accountable for whatever may happen. A fascinating and macabre look into the very soul of human nature.
