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.< P>Tim Waggoner is the author of five novels: < I>Dying for It, The Harmony Society, Dark Ages: Gangrel, Temple of the Dragonslayer< /I>, and < I>Necropolis.< /I> He is also the author of the short story collection < I>All Too Surreal.< /I> He's published over seventy short stories in the fantasy and horror genres, and his articles on writing have appeared in < I>Writer's Digest, Writers' Journal, New Writers Magazine, Ohio Writer, Speculations< /I>, and < I>Teaching English in the Two-Year College. < /I>He teaches creative writing at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio.
