David Wellington

David Wellington is an American author of horror and dark fantasy fiction, known for his inventive takes on classic monster mythology. His vampire series, beginning with 13 Bullets, reimagines vampires as terrifying, predatory creatures far removed from romantic portrayals, following a state trooper and a retired FBI agent hunting the last surviving vampires in America. Wellington has also written zombie fiction (the Monster Island trilogy) and werewolf novels. A pioneer of serialised online fiction, he built his early readership by publishing novels chapter by chapter on the web. His books and audiobooks deliver intense, fast-paced horror that restores genuine menace to the genre's most iconic creatures.
