So, the vampire novel is finally back.
If you don't remember this book, I don't blame you. I haven't talked about it all that often since Silver Empire fell. And I first released it in 2015, so it’s been a WHILE.
It's the vampire novel with Catholic philosophy and metaphysics, jammed together with every traditional myth about vampires, for an interesting little mash-up.
Oh, here's one of the better parts of being an author with, of all things, a real publishing house.
The covers.
I just missed the tag line, but the cover’s getting crowded.
When I first had a publisher on this, I gave them several options.
1: One is a heartless, merciless killer. The other's a vampire.
2: Vampires in New York? They came to the wrong town.
3: Welcome to New York City, where vampires don't sparkle. They burn.
4: There are certain parts of Brooklyn vampires should not invade.5: And you thought Brooklyn was only dangerous at night.
They picked #3.
But that was three versions ago—Damnation Press went out of business. I self pubbed, then went to Silver Empire … which went out of business. Now I’m at Three Ravens. Let’s see how it works.
You’re probably looking at tag line #1 and thinking
Come now, Declan, another dark, dangerous character, isn't Sean Ryan enough?
Sean is a strange, strange man who really enjoys his job, but unless you actively annoy him, he doesn't go out of his way to harm anybody. He's the sane one.
If you haven’t read it, I won’t spoil anything, yet.
More tomorrow.
