I’ve been bitten by a zombie--courtesy of cover artist Stephen Blundell! Check out this before-and-after of my very own zombification. The photograph on the left inspired the sketch on the right, which will be part of the cover for my upcoming zombie/vampire novel, Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines!

Mr. Z.A. Recht, author of Plague of the Dead, has honored us with an introduction to Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines. Among other things, he says:

"Reader, you haven't experienced zombies like the ones in this book before. I won't ruin a thing for you, but you're in for a treat. George A. Romero's zombies are cute, cuddly little kittens next to these aberrations. And the vampires? They aren't those cultured, lace-wearing wussies that Anne Rice made famous. These are dark, vicious killers--predators in the truest sense of the word. Take either one of these things and you would have the material you need for a grade-A work of horror fiction. Put them together, and the potential increases exponentially. Snell has exploited every last bit of this potential."

Check out this awesome blurb by Walt Hicks, publisher at Hellbound Books:

"Welcome to D. L. Snell’s bleak, nightmarish world of vampires and zombies, of puppets and puppeteers, of humans and mutants. A bone-jarring, hellish trek into the morbid and bizarre, Snell’s trenchant novel serves up oceans of gore and an unimaginable body count, and yet beneath the ghastly layers, there’s plenty of character development, sharp dialogue and a perceptive view of human—and inhuman—nature. An often brutal—often darkly elegant—page-turning read."

NOTE: Roses of Blood will not be available to preorder until around April, and won’t debut until June; the following ad is intended for the May/June issue of Cemetery Dance, around the time the book comes out--I just wanted to show it off now. Zombies courtesy of cover artist Stephen Blundell.

Bueno dado que aqui la publicidad es gratuita y hay gente que se inscribe solo para poder promover su mierda aprobecho para decir que durante los ultimos 3 años el uso abusivo de la publicidad en ESpaña se ha incrementado notablemente dando lugar por parte de nuestro legislador central a la creacion de diversas sanciones administrativas, sin embargo dada su baja cuantia, su capacidad disuasoria para los infractores es nula.

Tras esta noticia absusrda les dejo con un poco mas de auto bombo del creador de un libro que no le importa una mierda a nadie
Aprovecho para recomendar a los desocupados que aprendan español, http://institutocervantes.es

Part of this blurb will find its way onto the front cover!

Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines by D.L. Snell is a marvelous dark fantasy--filled with ruthless vampires, flesh-eating zombies, and enough action to leave you breathless. Intense, gruesome, funny, and fast-paced--it has all the ingredients needed to satisfy even the most jaded fan of horror fiction.

--Jonathan Maberry, Author of GHOST ROAD BLUES, DEAD MAN’S SONG and THE CRYPTOPEDIA

I just received another blurb:

Violent and visceral and yet also unexpectedly beautiful and erotic, Snell’s debut novel is a non-stop tirade of horrific, nightmare images, a startling vision of the remains of the human race trapped between two of the greatest evils ever to scar the face of the planet. With hordes of deadly zombies on one side and an incredibly powerful army of vampires on the other, mankind’s days are numbered.--David Moody, Author of the Autumn series
