Summary from ANN:
During a fiercely hot summer in Sotoba, a peaceful and quiet village with a population of 1300 people, a series of bizarre deaths begin to occur. At the same time, a strange family moves into a long abandoned mansion in the region. Hospital dean Toshio Ozaki cannot figure out the cause of death in the deceased, initially suspecting an epidemic. As investigations continue between the hospital staff and the residents, it turns out that the village is being attacked by vampires.
Kenn's Comment: Finally, vampires that aren't sparkly or so beautiful that they hurt. Yes, I'm talking about Twilight and Vampire Knight, and all those other things, Vampire Diaries and whatever. If memory serves me correct, this is based off of a novel of the same name by Fuyumi Ono (Ghost Hunt). Looking forward to this. I don't remember the manga being overly creepy or scary, but it was quite bloody, so if you can't take that kind of thing, it may not be for you. However if you're still interested, Gackt plays a character in this.
