Seven years later, he has everything a dwarf could possibly wish for - a gym, a beer hall, and a bawdy house across the road.

What happens when a European vampire digs his way into Japan? When Lollipop comes looking to call in Frank’s debts, Frank and Wrenn find themselves in Tokyo and embroiled in a Frankenstein family reunion neither of them wanted—nor thought possible.

His dreams have been menacing and arguably prophetic.
