Press Release: Two new Vampire Apocalypse books coming...
Vampire Apocalypse: A World Torn Asunder, is the first book in the Vampire
Apocalypse series from Irish author, Derek Gunn (published by KHP
Industries, US, under their Black Death Books imprint) and currently
available worldwide.
Two new Vampire Apocalypse books are coming: Vampire Apocalypse: Descent
into Chaos is with the publishers and should be released late 2008/2009.
The third book in the series, Vampire Apocalypse: Fallout is nearing
completion.
Vampire Apocalypse is under option by Richard Finney, an LA-based
Producer-Screenwriter who has worked with such filmmakers as Steven
Speilberg, Mel Gibson and George Clooney and a screen adaptation is in
development - Details are available on IMDb.
Finney says that he was attracted to Gunn's twist on the rather played-out
vampire genre. "It seems like we've [already] seen everything, but this
novel puts forth a [new] take on the universe. The original concept will
allow us as filmmakers to explore new terrain in the subgenre. Gunn's
story also takes the sexy posturing out of vampires and turns them back to
what they are: bloodsucking animals that feed on humans. We're very
excited to be working with an author as clever as Derek!" Fangoria.com,
