Cave, Clark Ashton Smith, Manly Wade Wellman (who was one of my mentors, I'm proud to say) -- then you'll love these tales. Many of them would have had pride of place in any issue of Weird Tales in the 30s or 40s."--Al Sarrantonio, author of Skeletons, Moonbane, and Halloween and Other SeasonsABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Niall Wilson has been writing and publishing horror, dark fantasy, and science fiction since the mid-eighties.

The perfect novel for a hot, sultry night." - J. L. Comeau - CountGore.comFor This is My Blood: "Wilson's prose is smooth and powerful, carrying its allegorical weight with grace. His first novel is one of the most unique vampire stories to appear in recent years, balancing themes of damnation and prophesy against those of faith and redemption." - Publisher's WeeklyFor The Orffyreus Wheel - " The book started off with a bang. From page one the book is intense and filled with suspense." - Blondie - Amazon.com
