Vanther the Vanquisher: Bloodquest

Vanther the Vanquisher: Bloodquest by Scott Harper

Vanther the Vanquisher: Bloodquest takes place in an ancient, savage world known as the Hyborian Age, where tyrants and monsters rule the land. Vanther himself was the greatest warrior the world had witnessed, even before he received the blood curse of the Undead. He was dedicated to defending his clan of hunter/gatherers from plundering outsiders before it was decimated. Now a death-dealing force of unearthly might, he must use all his dark powers on a perilous quest into a savage wasteland to rescue his maker and find the key to ending his eternal bloodlust. Joined by the fierce vampiress Lysandra, Vanther soon discovers that vampires aren't at the top of the supernatural food chain.

​

In addition, Scott Harper has included Bloodlust: Tales of Vampiric Villainy in this volume, a variety of stories where he weaves his own take on vampires into the annals of world history. You'll find tales that take place as far away as the other side of the world and as close as your own hometown, ranging in time from the 1800s to the modern era. The vampires' reign knows no limits, and you'll be fascinated and even horrified by their conquests and failures.

This book is not for the faint of heart - you'll wallow in the bloody quests and gut-wrenching action. Harper will make you believe in vampires again, and you'll be thrilled to do so. 

"Scott Harper has created a smartly written and wonderfully entertaining mix of Sword and Sorcery and Vampires, with a pinch of Edgar Rice Burroughs added in. Robert E. Howard and Brian Lumley would be very pleased indeed!"

~ Douglas Draa, Weirdbook editor and weird fiction aficionado

"A gritty sword and sorcery epic... This book is indeed a bloody quest!" ~ Kevin M. Glover, publisher, playwright, and comic creator

"Vanther the Vanquisher is a high-concept, fast-paced, action-packed spicy pulp adventure you can really sink your teeth into."

~ Jason J. McCuiston, author of Project Notebook and the Last Star Warden series

"With Vanther the Vanquisher, Scott Harper brings the readers a collection of vampire stories that thrill and delight. The novella itself is a welcome sojourn into the world of high fantasy and vampires, with creatures of legend, dark necromancers, and, of course, the vampire Vanther - a story that will thrill any lover of vampires, swords and sandals... Highly recommended."

~ Andrew M. Boylan, author of Taliesin Meets the Vampire
