Meet the Author

I am Dr. Gary Truslow, a computer science professional with a touch of amatuer author in me. I have traveled through the USA, Italy, Germany and the UK in search of inspiration for my fiction. I hope to share the results through my work.

My earliest exposure to gothic horror came in the form of the original Dark Shadows TV series. Jonathon Frid's portrayal of Barnabas Collins as a tormented undead reminds us vampirism is a curse and not a ticket to enternal youth and life in one big party.
The Hammer series of vampire movies with Christopher Lee as dracula provided some inspiration, especially in the form of vampire enemies like Peter Cushing's Van Helsing.

The vampires from Brain Lumley's Necroscope series were also influencial. Lumley's writing style and the pace of his narratives make his work a must-read for vampire fans. In my opinion the necroscope series should be made into feature films.

The vampires in my bleak universe strive for power and are constantly trying to protect their domains from others, who would dethrone and destroy them. They do this while facing the constant threat of being discovered by vampire hunters, and other supernatural adversaries.

Recent additions to my universe include werewolves, alchemists, demons, and revenants. I have a wide spectrum of undead and otherworldly entities yet to come.
