About
What would happen if an abused, ignored, angry teenage boy was given the power to make all of his tormentors pay for what they did to him? Red Simon: Vampire Punk answers that question with buckets of blood. A bullied teenage boy is murdered and comes back as a vampire to take gruesome revenge on everybody who mistreated him. He's tracked by police, a private detective and a vampire hunting priest. Simon develops a group of followers who want the same kind of vampire powers he has. But Simon is actually nothing but a confused child. While trying to get some answers from the police and vamp-hunter Father Spinello about the meaning of life, he wonders if this empty existence can ever come to an end. Because, let's face it, once you've had your revenge, what's left?
