Necropolis

From author Tim Waggoner comes a brand-new novel featuring a home for all of those creatures that go bump in the night. . . . Centuries ago, when Earth's Darkfolk - vampires, werewolves, witches and other creatures - were threatened by humanity, they departed our planet's dimension and journeyed to a shadowy realm, where they built the great city of Necropolis. Matthew Adrion is an Earth cop who came through a portal to Necropolis on a case, died, and was resurrected as a zombie. Unable to return home, he works as a private investigator on the very mean streets of this shadowy, dark city. Matthew is hired by an attractive half-human, half-vampire named Devona to recover a mystical artifact called the Dawn Stone. The two battle for their un-lives against genetically altered werewolves and cyber-vampires as they race to find the stone before its devastating power brings sunlight to this world of eternal darkness: destroying Necropolis forever. Along the way they meet strange and dangerous citizens of this sinister city, and must sort out who to trust - and who's using who - before their very world is lit out of existence.Tim Waggoner is the author of five novels: Dying for It, The Harmony Society, Dark Ages: Gangrel, Temple of the Dragonslayer, and Necropolis. He is also the author of the short story collection All Too Surreal. He's published over seventy short stories in the fantasy and horror genres, and his articles on writing have appeared in Writer's Digest, Writers' Journal, New Writers Magazine, Ohio Writer, Speculations, and Teaching English in the Two-Year College.
