Roses of Blood tells the harrowing tale of an enclave of vampires breeding human livestock in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with the living dead. But the dead are just now evolving into something far more lethal, something with tentacles--and that's just the beginning!


"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

Top review, DL. Well done!

[hugonian]

Thanks, Hoo Haa! Here's an excerpt from Nick Cato's write-up, slated to appear in the 17th issue of THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW...

"Snell's Roses of Blood is a no-nonsense, cult-film-type of story that sets the adrenaline level on high, then keeps getting higher. Everything disappointed horror fans expected out of the Underworld films happens with gusto here--and then some: gore hounds will be in for a treat, zombie fans will get a charge over the little Cthulhu-like creatures that control the undead, and anyone looking for a non-stop action fest should look no further."

And here's one more, including an interview--Alex Zawacki, Class-b.net: review, interview

More to come in the following weeks! And the winner of the zombie portrait raffle should be announced this week or next! Stay tuned...

Everyone who pre-ordered my zombie/vampire novel Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines was bitten. But the zombie virus could only survive in one lucky individual, which means only one zombie could be produced. Eric J. “feedussnacks” is that individual.

Eric will be zombified by the Roses cover artist, Stephen Blundell. So welcome, Eric! Congrats!

Oh, and--BRAAAAAAINNNNS!!!

[hugonian]

Collin has finished his Snell zombie, and I incorporated it into an ad. Check it out!

[HOO-HAA]

HAHAH! Wonderful work!

[hugonian]

Thanks, Hoo Haa!

Another great review, this one from Shawn Rutledge at Skullring.org...

The characterization is believable, the dialogue is brilliant, and the settings are splendidly stark and vivid. I must warn though that this book is not for the weak of will. There are graphic depictions of sex and violence, and nary a page goes by without at least a mention of the red stuff.... Snell definitely knows his chosen field and his subject quite well, and has a love for the genre that shines through.
