Reception
Prior to the release of the graphic novel, Bloody Disgusting questioned the inclusion of new characters in an adaptation of the classic Nosferatu story.[2] The PullBox noted that the protagonists, Tommy and Elle, are archetypal, but stated that they are "not driven by stereotype". Additionally, the website described the graphic novel as a strong "pulp" adaptation.[3]
In an interview, the author stated that while the characters were conceived of as lesbians, there was no initial agenda behind the decision. However, he also noted that the change lent a new level of horror to the unwanted advances of Count Orlok.[4]
