“Derek Gunn’s Vampire Apocalypse: A World Torn Asunder will leave you praying that the future doesn’t come too soon.
Clearly understanding the importance of thematic consistency, Gunn stays true to his vision throughout by creating an authentic and thoroughly convincing apocalyptic setting.
Further, he offers a much-needed break from those oh-so-frequent Anne Rice pastiches, in favor of more vicious and sadistic vampires.
...if savage vampires roaming an authentic apocalyptic landscape are your thing, then Vampire Apocalypse will cater to even the most discriminating reader.” The complete review is available at Dark Scribe Magazine
The war is over and the Vampires have won. The drying up of the world's oil resources leads to the fabled End of Days. Technology stagnates and communities grow ever more insular. With communication between cities lost and attention turned inward, the vampires rise from the shadows where they have survived for centuries and sweep across the globe. By the time word spreads it is far too late and Vampires enslave humanity and keep them in walled cities to breed.
The Vampires are masters of the darkness but maintain control by day through the use of Thralls--humans who have been bitten but have not yet crossed over, and whose inhuman lusts make daylight as terrifying as night. In the midst of chaos, a small band of rebels lead a terrified existence, but their survival is threatened by the Vampires’ new scanning procedures.
