About the Book:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Western Territories, 1880. For four years, Civil War veteran and former U.S. Cavalry Captain Jonas P. Hollister has been rotting in a prison cell at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. His crime: lying about the loss of eleven soldiers under his command . . . who he claims were slaughtered by a band of nonhuman, blood-drinking demons.<\/p>\n

But now a famous visitor, the detective Allan Pinkerton, has arrived with an order for Hollister’s release. The brutal murder of a group of Colorado miners in a fashion frighteningly similar to the deaths of Hollister’s men has leant new credence to his wild tale. And suddenly Jonas Hollister finds himself on a quest both dangerous and dark\u2014joining forces with Pinkerton, the gunsmith Oliver Winchester, an ex-fellow prisoner, a woman of mystery, and a foreigner named Abraham Van Helsing, who knows many things about the monsters of the night\u2014and riding hell for leather toward an epic confrontation . . . with the undead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is Mr. Spradlin’s first novel for adults and it sounds incredible. \u00a0As I’ve said this isn’t really a zombie novel, but it is a sci-fi monster novel that sounds just as cool. \u00a0The main monsters are an\u00a0ancient species called “Archaics”. They’re sort of a mash up between zombies and vampires. \u00a0They eat people, which is cool enough for me! \u00a0The story is set in the old west and tells the tale of a man who has to hunt these scary things down.<\/p>\n

Blood Riders<\/a> will be released on September 25th, 2012.<\/p>\n
