Gothier Than Thou is my upcoming vampire trilogy.  The first book, Bloodletting, will be released in early 2010. 

It is the story of young Winston Bartholomew Smith and his two best friends, Jenny McDonald and Robert Crowley.  The trio of Goth kids must learn to unlock the powers Winston has gained when he is accidentally turned into a vampire; while they are being hunted by a powerful elder vampire.  The comical yet deadly cast of characters includes local law enforcement, a hard boiled detective, a pack of stoner werewolves, an angel with amnesia, a vampire chihuahua, high school bullies, the high school science club, and many more.


The Gothier Than Thou Open Source project is a creative collaboration, allowing authors, artists, and fans access to the world before and after the books are released.  One reason to do this is to allow up and coming authors and artists a chance to display their prowess with their chosen mediums, and maybe help a few people get established.  Why else?  Because its a damn fun idea!


Very simply - have fun with it, don't kill off or depict the death of any of my main characters, and stay true to the way the world works, as I outline it in the descriptions linked to the side.  You can also get a feel for the world in the Short Stories I have posted.  If you use one of the main characters, stay true to who they are!
