IO9 announce that there's going to be a graphic novel exploring the backstory of the vampire protagonist. Apparently they come across "viscious men consumed with greed".
A flashback involving viscious greedy men sounds somewhat familiar for those of us who've read the book. So unsurprisingly, there are several commenters saying "actually I didn't want to read a graphic novel about a boy having his genitals chopped off".
(Un)Fortunately, since it's a prequel to the remake (titled "Let Me In") we don't need to worry about that. In this version the vampire's name has been changed from Eli to Abby. Forget that Ellie is clearly a much more common girl's name than Abby. Apparently the young vampire's lengthy history of sexual exploitation is far less important than the section of the story with the zombie. *facepalm* Needless to say that the contents of the graphic novel seem pretty irrelevant to the version of the story found in the novel (as well as that found in the original movie):

Being forced to spend eternity as a vampire-trapped in the mind and body of a child, with slaughter the only recourse for survival-is torture enough. But when Abby finds herself faced with a ruthless real-estate tycoon willing to do anything to get at the property she and her caretaker call home, far more monstrous torments await.By comparison to what Eli had to deal with, that sounds pretty trivial. You know what would normally happen if someone threatened to throw them out of their home? They'd have to move somewhere else. (Probably after sucking the blood out of the real-estate tycoon or, more likely, his unfortunate lackey.) From the images provided it looks like she's going to play detective and catch a serial killer. The child vampire I read about wouldn't give a sh**.
