International Thriller Writers' Association review DESCENT INTO CHAOS

"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."

I recently joined the International Thriller Writers' Assoication and in their January newsletter (which goes out to 10,000 subscribers, they say) they did a good indepth write up of the second Vampire Apocalypse book, DESCENT INTO CHAOS - a good start to 2009!

Flames Rising reviews Vampire Apocalypse: A World Torn Asunder

A recent review of the first VA book at Flames Rising that I though I'd share with you...here's a few highlights:

"Gunn writes a face-paced and action-packed adventure. This is one of the better post-apocalyptic novels I’ve read .....a great survival horror tale.....A new book in the series (Descent into Chaos) was recently released.... I’ve already started reading it…you should pick up both of them and join in!"

Another 5 STAR review for DESCENT INTO CHAOS...

And "The Estuary" makes four....

I've sold a new novel entitled "The Estuary" to Permuted Press, the US genre press 'taking over the world' with post-apocalyptic books! So this brings the total number of my novels published/contracted to four (A World Torn Asunder and Descent into Chaos and the forthcoming Fallout in the Vampire Apocalypse series, published by Black Death Books).

Permuted Press started out with "The Undead" zombie anthology in late 2005 (which included my story The Diabolical Plan)and have gone on to publish novels by Bram Stoker Award winner, Dr. Kim Paffenroth, Z.A. Recht, J.L. Bourne, Bowie Ibarra, David Wong and many more.

I'm truely delighted to have found such a fantastic home for this book. The Estuary should be out in 2009....stay tuned for further updates.

5 stars for DESCENT INTO CHAOS at Goodreads

I am always delighted to get feedback for my books from readers and I was humbled to come across this one at Goodreads:

"Descent into Chaos' is the second installment in the 'Vampire Apocalypse' series, which started with 'A World Torn Asunder'. While I already loved the first novel, this sequel contains even more complexity and depth...."
