The Hollywood Vampires bring you high-impact vampire fiction loaded with hilarity, humanity, and an 80's rock 'n roll attitude.

You won't find any Twilight clones here, dear reader. This is vampire fiction written for dedicated readers who love wild supernatural action, outrageous laughs, and are sick of whiny vampires.

The Hollywood Vampires are a unique, high-spirited, & non-mainstream take on vampire fiction -- you're not going to find the same old "vampires in high school" stuff here. Check out the characters, keep up with the latest news, and buy exclusive autographed copies of all the books here!

What’s So Hot About Cold Vampires?

Bookmark and Share

There’s something I’ve always wondered about vampire fiction, and while I’m going to throw out my own thoughts on it, I REALLY want some feedback on this, as it’s something I’m genuinely curious about.  Specifically… What’s so hot about cold vampires? Traditionally — particularly in Anne Rice’s take on vampires and more recently in True [...]

Dark Shadows 2012 — Vampire Fiction With A Dash Of Fun?

Vampire Fiction Is Dead… Or Is It?

Bookmark and Share

While publishing the Hollywood Vampires books is my primary focus when it comes to writing,  off-the-wall vampire fiction isn’t the ONLY thing I write.  At the moment, I’m shopping around a hard-edged, gruesome, horror book with tinges of dark satiric humor entitled Snatcher to potential publishers — those of you on the Hollywood Vampires mailing [...]

The whole “Christina Hendricks As Clarisse” post went over so well with everybody — and actually draws a nice little bit of web traffic — so I decided to revisit something I posted on my Twitter feed last year, proposing that Mila Kunis would be well-suited to portray Donita in a live-action Hollywood Vampires movie.
