Publication history
Publication history
Coker said that he got the idea from a news story that he read about a drug-addicted woman who was forced into prostitution. One of her Johns fell in love with her, but she was ashamed of what she had become. She was also being beaten by her pimp, so the John shot and killed the pimp and some other men, was caught, and spent the rest of his life in jail. Both creators also said they spent months researching Chinese folklore and mythology. The story is also heavily inspired by Romanian vampire lore.
