He and his mute young wife are hoping to find a new life, after the traumatic death of their infant daughter from a strange wasting disease in Munich. The eccentric Count who owns the castle, a suave but distant man, keeps strange hours. Still, Wagner settles in to the work nicely. But then strange things start to happen in the remote castle on the cliff. The Count’s manservant is alternately elusive or confrontational. The locals are secretive and suspicious. Wagner is nearly killed by inexplicable falling masonry. A giant bat attacks his companions. Ghostly apparitions of women with claws and fangs prowl the halls of the gloomy castle late at night. When his friend falls ill from the same disease his daughter died of, Wagner decides it’s time to leave and look for a doctor, even if it means abandoning gainful employment. But Count Dracula and his minions have other plans. For Wagner, what began as a simple job, soon becomes a frantic battle for survival and a race against the setting sun to rescue his wife and stop the spread of an ancient evil.“All the hallmarks of a great 1970s classic creature flick are here: spooky castle, the gentleman creature of the night, and harried villagers poised to grab pitchforks and torches. Gilmour brings Dracula back, with a dash of 21st century adventure and a twist you won’t see coming.” —Jeremy Bishop, #1 bestselling horror author of Torment and The Sentinel“THE CRYPT OF DRACULA is how a vampire novel should be written. It’s suspenseful, frightening, dark, and realistic. It harkens back to the day when ‘monster’ movies played at Saturday matinees and at midnight showings. Somewhere, Bram Stoker is smiling. He’s beaming from ear to ear because someone finally got it right, and that someone is Kane Gilmour.” —Mark Adduci, Suspense Magazine“If you are a fan of the old-style Dracula stories, you will definitely enjoy reading THE CRYPT OF DRACULA by Kane Gilmour. Kane did an amazing job recreating the feel of Stoker while adding his own style. Travel to a magnificent castle perched dangerously on a cliff in Romania, with a very dark and dangerous secret. Within the walls hide your worst nightmares, blood-thirsty and evil. Finally, a vampire that makes you weak in the knees and afraid of the dark. There are definitely no emo, glittering vampires in this book! Be prepared to sleep with the lights on.” —Carol ‘Pixie’ Brearley, author of RISE OF THE DARK ANGEL“Experience the Count again...for the first time! Gilmour’s version of Dracula is both homage to the classic Hammer films and a re-imagining that will have you peeking out your covers at night, while at the same time giggling like Renfield with each turn of the page. Don’t let the sun go down before getting this awesome book!” —J. Kent Holloway, author of DEVIL’S CHILD and THE CURSE OF ONE-EYED JACK

Bite Marks


C.J. Galaway - 2013
    I say for the most part because no one’s memory is truly perfect. Plus I’ve taken the liberty of changing a few things here and there to protect the lives of the humans I’ve recently befriended. They have come to mean a great deal to me and I would hate to see anything happen to them. It’s not their fault I have this great urge to tell my life story.So why tell it, you ask? First of all, it’s not my entire life story. Most of it is boring and dull, like average people’s everywhere. I’ve lived it and wouldn’t want to read it. Second, it’s still going on and would take volumes to record the centuries I have yet ahead of me.Yes, you read right, I said centuries. My life isn’t average anymore. I am a creature of the night…a vampire. This is the tale of what happened when I decided to beg for a chance at immortality. You know the type of split-second decision that tends to change things forever. This was one of those.Don’t laugh this off. Humans truly do not know whether my kind exists or not. We like it that way. The Hollywood myths and rumors make our lives much easier to live. Besides, most humans refuse to accept what is right in front of their faces, until it’s too late.Well, you have a copy of my story in your hands right now and I can tell you’re dying to read it. Be warned it’s a graphic little tale. I have left none of the important details out and have done a few things you might find repulsive. But you’re only human, after all.Go ahead and read on. You will find it a very educational experience, to say the least. Keep reading; I know you can’t resist.

Big Fat Box Set


Johnny B. Truant - 2013
    This book is nothing short of hilarious. I started to read it at work, but had to stop almost immediately because I could not stop myself from laughing out loud." "Humor drips from every orifice of this story which couples well with the hints of gore and danger ever present in vampire literature. I found it very entertaining and I wish I had drawn it out a bit more instead of cashing out in one sitting. Five stars, no regrets." "At Last! An Original Vampire Story! I've read a fair few Vampire tales in recent years, and most are twilight clones, interview clones, or frankly bad fan fiction. This one is the first I've read for a long time that is genuinely original, well written, and also 'keeps to the rules'." +++++ DESCRIPTION FOR FAT VAMPIRE (BOOK 1): When overweight treadmill salesman Reginald Baskin finally meets a co-worker who doesn't make fun of him, it's just his own bad luck that tech guy Maurice turns out to be a two thousand-year-old vampire. And when Maurice turns Reginald to save his life, it's just Reginald's own further bad luck that he wakes up to discover he's become the slowest, weakest, most out-of-shape vampire ever born, doomed to "heal" to his corpulent self for all of eternity. As Reginald struggles with the downsides of being a fat vampire -- too slow to catch people to feed on, mocked by those he tries to glamour, assaulted by his intended prey and left for undead -- he discovers in himself rare powers that few vampires have… and just in time too, because the Vampire Council might just want his head for being an inferior representative of their race. Fat Vampire is the story of an unlikely hero who, after having an imperfect eternity shoved into his grease-stained hands, must learn to turn the afterlife's lemons into tasty lemon danishes. +++++ Full descriptions for the other books in this series can be found here: FAT VAMPIRE 2: http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Vampire-Tas...

Stakes to the heart cannot kill them—only fire or decapitation.

Julian Brownell, aka Christian Beauparlant, aka Texas Jack, aka any number of alternate identities) on his journey to protect the people he loves from harm even as he searches for the answers to his ancient-life crisis.
