Let's Not Forget My Older Works: The Vampire Hunters

I've been so preoccupied with my current WIPS (two novellas, a screenplay, and novels three and four of my young adult post-apocalypse series under the name Josh Matthews) that I've neglected my older children. So before they place me in a cheap nursing home, I'll be spending the next few weeks pimping my earlier works and hopefully introduce them to my newer fans.

Drake Matthews and Alison Monroe. Their names are as legendary as their battles with the vampires that plague Washington D.C. Now, for the first time, all three novels in The Vampire Hunters trilogy are available in one book. The Vampire Hunters Omnibus begins with the first battles between humans and the undead in the nation's capital and concludes with the final apocalyptic conflict to determine which side will hold dominion over the earth.

The Vampire Hunters -- As former Boston cops, Drake Matthews and Alison Monroe thought they had experienced it all... until they found themselves tracking down a serial killer who turned out to be one of the undead. Stopping him cost them their careers and almost their lives. Thanks to an influential and anonymous benefactor, Drake and Alison find a new job ridding the streets of Washington D.C. of the vampiric threat terrorizing the nation's capital. Only this time, Drake and Alison are not facing a single vampire but an entire nest led by Ion Zielenska, one of history's most evil and twisted masters. As the vampires indiscriminately prey on humans, seeing them as nothing more than food to satiate their hunger, they create a wave of violence that threatens to engulf the city. Orchestrating the carnage is Antoinette Varela, the mistress of the nest, who realizes that for the nest to survive the hunters must be eliminated. However, when her vendetta turns personal, the hunters find themselves in struggle they are not prepared for.

The Vampire Hunters: Vampyrnomicon -- Within the vaults of the Smithsonian Institute lies the key to finding the Vampyrnomicon, the Book of the Undead, that contains the history and secrets of the vampires. According to legend, whoever possesses the book can establish a vampire nation on earth – or destroy the undead once and for all. With an opportunity to end the war against the vampires so close, Drake Matthews is determined to find the book. But the vampires also want the Vampyrnomicon. When Master Chiang Shih and her coven of the most powerful and dangerous vampires arrive in Washington to claim the book as their own, the hunters find themselves facing their most dangerous enemy yet. With the stakes so high, so is the ferocity of the struggle.

The Vampire Hunters: Dominion -- Lost for centuries, the Vampyrnomicon, the Book of the Undead, is unearthed and with it the terrible secret of the vampires’ origins. The book's discovery gives vampire hunter Drake Matthews the means to defeat Chiang Shih and her nest. It also provides Chiang Shih with the knowledge required to make vampires immortal. When Chiang Shih raises an army of the undead and establishes a vampire nation in Washington D.C., she cripples Drake and his hunters. Driven by vengeance, and with his ranks swelled by unlikely allies, Drake leads the survivors back into the infested city. With the fate of humankind hanging in the balance, hunters and vampires wage the final apocalyptic battle in the streets of Washington to determine who will hold dominion over the earth.

"Those that know me and follow my on-line work know that I am a vampire fanatic. By that I mean real vampires, the undead creatures that prey on humans for survival, not the glorified sissy boy vampires that keep getting shoved down our throats. If you’ve read Justin’s Cronin’s The Passage and Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s The Strain, you will absolutely love The Vampire Hunters.” -- Pete Schwotzer of Famous Monster of Filmland

"Scott M. Baker's The Vampire Hunters is a gut-wrenching, fast-paced horror thriller that takes you from the back streets of Washington to the rat infested sewer systems below. You cheer for both the hunter and the hunted as the author rains battle scenes with stomach turning death and destruction around every corner." -- Fangoria

I'll Be Participating in the Vampire Books for Blood Drive 1-31 October 2016

From 1-31 October, Scott Burtness, author of Wisconsin Vampire, will be holding his third annual Vampire Books for Blood charity event to benefit the American Red Cross and the Canadian Blood Services. I'm honored to be part of this year's event.

For the month of October, I will donate 50% of my net royalties from every on-line sale of The Vampire Hunters, Vampyrnomicon, Dominion, and The Vampire Hunters Omnibus to The American Red Cross. This includes all sales from Amazon, CreateSpace, and Nook.

This is an incredibly worthy event and I hope all of you will participate. If you've already purchased my books, then please buy from one of the other writers involved in the event. For a list of those vampire writers who are also participating, please check here.

The Vampire Hunters Trilogy Is No Longer in Print

The bad news is that, as of this week, The Vampire Hunters trilogy is no longer in print. After several discussions with the publisher about the rapidly changing nature of the industry, we came to the mutual and amicable decision that it was no longer beneficial for either party to distribute the books. Emby Press and I departed on excellent terms, and I thank them for the opportunity to be associated with the company. It has been one of the great pleasures of my career.

The good news is that the trilogy, like any good vampire, will come back from the dead. I intend to self publish all three books this summer, so they will be available again fairly soon. More on this as events develop.

Review of The Vampire Hunters: Vampyrnomicon from HorrorNews.net

Earlier this week, Peter Schwotzer of HorrorNews.net published a review of The Vampire Hunters: Vampyrnomicon. In it, peter stated: "'The Vampire Hunters Trilogy' is a must read for all vampire lovers. Book II is full of great characters, action, blood, carnage and some of the most evil vampires this side of Brian Lumley’s Necroscope series and I highly recommend it." You can read the entire review here.

Just a reminder, The Vampire Hunters and The Vampire Hunters: Vampyrnomicon will soon be going out of print. The entire trilogy will be available in the future, but not until late in 2016. So if you are interested in reading any of the books in the trilogy, order them now.
