And although this book was first published in 2006, it's still getting terrific review. Here's a taster of the latest one posted at Suite 101.com last week -

"Unlike many other vampire books Derek Gunn's first novel portrays vampires as the bloodthirsty, soulless creatures they were before they were romanticised.

The best part about this novel is the story. Derek Gunn writes in such a way as to keep the reader engaged and wanting to know what happens next...it is difficult to put the book down. Every chapter seems to end with a cliff-hanger and the action-packed pace of the story seldom lets up."

What's New!

I've posted a new newsletter at my website with my latest releases/editions and news - you can view it HERE

It's been a busy month: My three VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE books are now available in multiple ebook formats via SMASHWORDS - the first book, A WORLD TORN ASUNDER is just $4.99. The first two books in the series, A WORLD TORN ASUNDER and DESCENT INTO CHAOS are also available in Kindle editions at Amazon.com and the third book FALLOUT will be available shortly in this format. Of course, all three are still available in Trade paperback editions at many online booksellers.

SENTINELS OF THE SEA (historical/naval/supernatural), a three chapbook set in a slip cover are now available from Ghostwriter Publications. They are available to purchase directly from the publisher's website only, via Paypal for security.

THE ESTUARY, my zombie adventure published by Permuted Press is now available in Borders and Waldenbooks stores across the USA.

Works in progress: I've just finished the fifth installment of the Vampire Memoirs for the forthcoming (2011) VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE graphic novel and I'm very pleased on how they turned out. Kudos to the publisher Eric Mullarky of New Baby Productions for coming up with the idea of including some "bonus material" for the reader - diary extracts at various points in histroy leading up to the timeline of VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE written by one of the vampires. This was a challenge for me as I never thought of writing from a vampire's point of view. I had to ensure that I steered completely away from bestowing them with any humanity as readers of the series will know that they are most definitely portrayed as base, evil creatures who are devoid of any human emotions!

Best,
Derek Gunn

I'm delighted to announce that my historical horror stories in my HMS Swift universe are now released as a three chapbook set and collectively called SENTINELS OF THE SEA.

Set against the historical backdrop of the fragile peace that existed between the American Revolution, the looming French Revolution and the threat of Napoleon’s growing empire, the crew of the HMS Swift face the walking dead in “The Diabolical Plan”and vampires in “The Island”.

The year is 1791 and Captain Thomas Butler and his loyal crew of The HMS Swift, a class five frigate in the service of King George III of England, are sent on a series of missions where nothing is what it seems and forces far darker than any of them have experienced before, reign supreme...

£4.99 - Non Members (£2.50 p/p) ~ £3.99 - Members (£1.75 p/p)

“an intriguing overall plot, with plenty of action and a concept that is far from ordinary." Dark Scribe Magazine

“For those who like their vampires tough and truly terrifying” Fear Zone

“Derek Gunn didn’t reinvent the vampire novel. Instead he stripped it back to its roots, in the process tearing away the pretensions other writers have used to humanize the fabled bloodsucking monster. His books are not comforting paranormal romances; they are violent and visceral supernatural thrillers.”International Thriller Writers’ Association
