Vampire fiction is sinking its teeth into November 2026, with a lineup that ranges from supernatural romance and deadly dating apps to comic-book crossovers, gothic horror and the return of some familiar bloodsuckers. Among the month’s new novels, bestselling romance authors Alexandra Vasti and Elena Armas are embracing the undead, each offering a different take on the relationship between vampires and humans. Meanwhile, comic-book fans have plenty to look forward to, including new adventures featuring Vampirella, a mystery set in the world of Vampire: The Masquerade and a lavish collection of Marvel’s classic 1970s vampire stories.
Whether your tastes run toward romantic vampires, dangerous monsters or vintage horror comics, there’s something worth investigating. Here’s our chronological guide to the vampire fiction scheduled for release in November 2026.
Pathfinder/Vampirella: Blade of Darkness #1 (November 4, 2026)
Written by: Erik Burnham
Illustrated by: Federico Dallocchio
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Format: Comic book, first issue of a four-part miniseries
What it’s about: Vampirella is about to find herself in unfamiliar territory when a magical ritual transports her into the fantasy world of Pathfinder. The trouble begins when Zaloch, a vampire lord inhabiting the world of Golarion, attempts to summon a powerful supernatural ally to help vampires overcome their enemies. Instead, his ritual brings him Vampirella, who is unlikely to be particularly enthusiastic about joining his cause. With monster hunters closing in and adventurers Kyra and Merisiel becoming involved, the stage is set for a collision between gothic horror and sword-and-sorcery fantasy.
Fang facts: The four-issue miniseries brings together two established properties from very different corners of fantasy entertainment. For readers who enjoy vampires in settings beyond the familiar gothic castle or contemporary city, this crossover promises something different.
Swipe Bite (November 10, 2026)
Written by: Alexandra Vasti
Publisher: Berkley
Format: Novel, 384 pages
Genre: Paranormal romance / romantic mystery
What it’s about: Finding love is complicated enough without worrying that your date might drink your blood. That’s the problem vampire Sophronia Vega hopes to solve with Stokr, a dating app designed to bring vampires and humans together safely. As heir to HemoCorp Industries, Sophronia has invested considerable effort in creating a system that allows the two species to mingle without anyone becoming dinner. Unfortunately, something goes terribly wrong when the app begins producing matches that result in humans being drained of blood.
Human software engineer Casey Amato believes the problem isn’t a programming error but deliberate sabotage. His investigation brings him into direct contact with Sophronia, and the two must work together to identify whoever is behind the attacks. Complicating matters is the growing attraction between them, which raises the question of whether a human and a vampire can safely pursue a relationship when someone is deliberately turning their dating service into a bloodbath.
Fang facts: Vasti combines a supernatural romance with corporate intrigue and a murder mystery. The premise offers a contemporary twist on the traditional vampire-human relationship, turning the familiar dangers of online dating into something considerably more literal.
Vampire: The Masquerade — Wake in Hate #1 (November 11, 2026)
Written by: John Lees
Illustrated by: Tom Mandrake
Publisher: Titan Comics
Format: Comic book, first issue of a four-part miniseries
Genre: Supernatural horror / mystery
What it’s about: In a city already overwhelmed by civil unrest, a series of grisly deaths threatens to expose the vampires secretly living among its human population. Bodies are being discovered drained of blood, and the killings suggest something far more calculated than ordinary street violence. With suspicions growing that vampires are taking advantage of the turmoil, someone must determine who is responsible before the situation becomes even more dangerous. That assignment falls to Silky, the enigmatic owner of a bar called The Dutchman, who must navigate a city filled with political tensions, supernatural secrets and potential predators.
Fang facts: The new four-part series expands the universe of the tabletop role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade, which has also inspired video games and other fiction. Artist Tom Mandrake brings considerable horror-comics experience to the project, having worked on such titles as The Spectre, Swamp Thing and Batman.
Vampirella vs. Darkstalkers Special #1 (Listed for November 11, 2026)
Written by: Tim Seeley
Illustrated by: Drax
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment / UDON
Format: 48-page comic-book one-shot
Genre: Supernatural action / crossover
What it’s about: Vampirella crosses paths with characters from Capcom’s Darkstalkers video-game franchise in a supernatural adventure set in New York City. Vampirella is tracking a dangerous succubus whose behavior suggests something distinctly unnatural, even by the standards of the creatures she normally encounters. At the same time, Morrigan Aensland, a princess from the demon realm of Makai, has been secretly visiting Earth to indulge her appetite for human dreams and souls. As Vampirella and Morrigan become increasingly aware of each other, their encounters turn into a dangerous game of pursuit and deception. Adding another complication is Baby Bonnie Hood, a notorious monster hunter who has both women in her sights.
Fang facts: This marks a crossover between Vampirella and the Darkstalkers universe, whose roster includes vampires, werewolves, succubi and other supernatural creatures. The project also brings together Dynamite Entertainment and UDON, the publisher associated with numerous Capcom comic adaptations.
Vampirella Masters: Kurt Busiek — Compact Edition (November 11, 2026)
Written by: Kurt Busiek
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Format: Collected graphic novel / compact paperback
What it’s about: Readers interested in revisiting Vampirella’s comic-book history will have an opportunity to explore stories by acclaimed writer Kurt Busiek in a new compact edition. Busiek is widely known for his work on Marvels, Astro City and Avengers, and his association with Vampirella represents another aspect of his career. Rather than introducing an entirely new adventure, this collection offers readers a chance to discover or revisit existing Vampirella material in a smaller paperback format.
Fang facts: The compact edition is intended as a more accessible way to experience previously published material, making it an appealing option for readers who prefer collected stories over individual comic-book issues.
Alma Vampires (November 17, 2026)
Written by: Elena Armas
Publisher: Berkley
Format: Novel, 496 pages
Genre: Paranormal romance
What it’s about: Valle Cepeda’s life changes dramatically when she unexpectedly inherits an enormous fortune from a mother she never knew. Until then, Valle has been an Ivy League scholarship student whose concerns have little to do with supernatural power struggles. Her sudden inheritance, however, makes her the target of dangerous enemies, forcing her to seek protection from someone whose own secrets are far more complicated than she initially realizes.
That someone is Hadrian Cruz, a wealthy and mysterious vampire whose connection to Valle is rooted in a debt that stretches back generations. As Valle becomes increasingly entangled in a world she barely understands, the relationship between her and Hadrian develops into something that neither can easily dismiss.
Fang facts: Armas, whose previous romantic fiction includes The Spanish Love Deception, makes a move into paranormal romance with the opening installment of her Icarus University series. The novel combines the author’s established interest in complicated relationships with a supernatural mythology involving inherited obligations, danger and vampire secrets.
Marvel’s ’70s Horror Archives: Vampire Tales Volume 1 — 1973–1974 (November 17, 2026)
Written by: Various Marvel writers
Edited by: Chris Ryall and John Lind
Publisher: Dark Horse Books
Format: Oversized hardcover graphic-novel collection, 296 pages
Genre: Classic vampire horror
What it’s about: Marvel’s 1970s horror comics are returning in an archival collection that revisits one of the publisher’s most interesting experiments with supernatural storytelling. Beginning in 1973, Marvel published black-and-white horror magazines aimed at readers looking for material beyond traditional superhero adventures. One of those titles was Vampire Tales, which featured stories about bloodthirsty monsters, reluctant vampires and supernatural antiheroes. This first collection gathers material from the magazine’s initial six issues, including early solo stories featuring Blade the Vampire Slayer, adventures involving Morbius the Living Vampire, and appearances by Lilith, Dracula’s daughter. The volume also includes the introduction of Satana, the Devil’s Daughter.
Fang facts: The book features work by numerous notable comic-book creators, including Roy Thomas, Marv Wolfman, Gerry Conway, Steve Gerber and others. It also reproduces original painted covers by artists such as Boris Vallejo and Bob Larkin, along with historical commentary from Chris Ryall. For fans of classic horror comics, this could be one of November’s most appealing releases.
Vampirella: Paradise #1 (November 18, 2026)
Written by: Thomas Sniegoski
Illustrated by: Edu Menna
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Format: Comic book, first issue of a new series
Genre: Supernatural horror / fantasy
What it’s about: After enduring extraordinary supernatural ordeals, Vampirella finds herself in a world that initially appears to offer the peace she has rarely experienced. Following the events of Vampirella: Armageddon, she has received a remarkable gift from the Almighty God. Unfortunately, paradise is not quite what it seems. Her new existence has been corrupted by the Mad God of Chaos and the Blood Red Queen of Hearts, transforming what should have been an idyllic refuge into another dangerous supernatural battleground. As darkness spreads through this seemingly perfect world, Vampirella must once again prepare for conflict.
Fang facts: Writer Thomas Sniegoski continues his Vampirella saga, reuniting with Armageddon artist Edu Menna. The new series builds directly upon earlier events while introducing an unusual setting for the long-running vampire heroine.
The Vampire’s Concubine (November 24, 2026 — Author-Announced Date)
Written by: Kristy Nicolle
Publisher: Kristy Nicolle Books
Format: Novel
Genre: Dystopian romantasy / vampire romance
What it’s about: Kristy Nicolle’s forthcoming vampire romantasy moves into darker territory, exploring a dystopian setting shaped by captivity, survival and unequal power relationships between vampires and humans. The story is being promoted around themes of forced proximity and the complicated emotional dynamics that emerge when a human character becomes entangled with a powerful vampire. Unlike the more playful romantic premise of Swipe Bite, this novel appears intended for readers who prefer their vampire fiction with a greater emphasis on danger, control and morally complicated relationships.
Fang facts: Nicolle is independently publishing the novel through Kristy Nicolle Books. Its November 24 publication date has been author-announced and should be checked again closer to release.
Pathfinder/Vampirella: Blade of Darkness #2 (November 25, 2026)
Written by: Erik Burnham
Illustrated by: Federico Dallocchio
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Format: Comic book, second issue of a four-part miniseries
Genre: Fantasy / supernatural action
What it’s about: The crossover between Vampirella and the fantasy world of Pathfinder continues as the vampire heroine confronts the consequences of being summoned into Golarion. The series centers on a vampire lord whose attempt to gain a supernatural advantage brings Vampirella into his world, creating conflict with monster hunters and adventurers. The second issue continues that four-part adventure, with the larger conflict between vampires, magic and the inhabitants of Golarion still unfolding.
Fang facts: With the first and second issues both listed for November, readers may have the opportunity to begin the miniseries and continue it within the same month. The series combines the gothic-horror sensibilities of Vampirella with the monsters and magical traditions of the Pathfinder universe.
