Author: David Dunwoody.
Empire is author David Dunwoody's first novel, while previously appearing in various horror anthologies. Dunwoody proves himself to be an ambitious and creative writer in this first novel; however, an overabundance of characters and ideas breaks down the focus of the read. Soon, the attention wanders, while the threat of zombified animals briefly brings back the attention.
Starting on the positives, there are no shortage of ideas in the novel, including: a platoon of soldiers fighting under the banner of God, a plantation set in a life reviving swamp, the death inducing character grim reaper makes an appearance, a Christian cult is introduced...etc. Unfortunately, not all of these elements come together and some of the plotlines are divergent. However, let us stick with the positives. Dunwoody has no lack of imagination, as...

If you weren't in Pittsburgh this past weekend, you missed one helluva good show. In fact, now that the alcohol has worn off, I find myself inundated with cool swag, great (if fuzzy) memories, and lots to write about. So here's how it all went down from September 18th-20th, 2009.
Friday we arrived just in time for the start of the movie Prometheus Triumphant and the first author panel, which featured Jonathan Maberry, James Melzer, and Rob Fox. Following them, Joe Knetter discussed the short film "Thirsty" based on his short story of the same name while Prey for the Beast showed in the movie room and authors David Dunwoody, Steven North, Kim Paffenroth, and Paul McConnel read from and discussed their newest books. At around 8pm, when the last of the straggling guests arrived, the cast of Pittsburg's It's Alive! appeared for their panel and, after a few moments of frozen posing,...
