Let the Pages Pour Forth with this First Chapter of "Blood and Bone" (Michael Allen)

This site and the connections that I have made through this site have encouraged me to write a little more. This critic, Blogger and horror enthusiast has enjoyed watching and reading other people's work in the genre. Over the last year and through other's inspirations, I have been working on a full length novel. The novel is called Blood and Bone, to give readers a sense of what the novel is about (horror). Currently, the novel is approximately 250 pages long and I have made the first chapter of the novel available through the publishing website Wattpad.

For those interested in a Winter read, Blood and Bone takes place in a fictional universe, not unlike Cormac McCarthy's The Road. The world is mostly a wasteland and humanity is on the brink of destruction. One lone vampire stalks the westcoast of the United States in search of something, usually a tasty human morsel. But, the protagonist, Darius, is also in search of his humanity.

This novel is also influenced by films such as Jim Mickle's Stake Land (2010). There is danger around every corner. There are action elements here similar to the film Blade (1998). This novel was an attempt to explore when and where to enter conflict. So, without further ado, readers are encouraged to read the first chapter of Blood and Bone at the link below. Readers are also encouraged to give feedback, criticism, spite or praise. Previous feedback has already influenced drafts on these chapters. The first chapter of Blood and Bone looms below!

Release Date: October 3rd, 2013 (Online).

Author: Michael Allen.

Editor: Branden Sparkes.

*my intention is to release another chapter in one month's time in a serialized fashion.
