Today we continue our look at the Halloween Stories 2011 Series with a trio of Halloween horror novels set in a city that is always night and teeming with monsters: Nekropolis.
Nekropolis is a place that feels like Halloween all day, ever day, but without all the fun. Well, without all the fun for Richter. I get a big kick out of it.

Nekropolis (Matt Richter Series #1)Author: Waggoner, Tim |

Meet Matt Richter. Private eye. Zombie. His mean streets are the city of the dead, the shadowy realm known as Nekropolis. In this first case, Richter must help a delectable half-vampire named Devona recover a legendary artifact known as the Dawnstone, before it’s used to destroy Nekropolis itself. That is, if he can survive the myriad horrors that infest the city itself. Pulp and proud, cracking wise like we just dug up the rotting corpse of Dashiell Hammett and put him back to work at his typewriter, Nekropolis is just the first of a trio of fabulous urban fantasies Angry Robot will be bringing you from the mighty Tim Waggoner. Originally published as a limited run novella from Five Star, the expanded Nekropolis is the definitive version of this massively entertaining series opener. |

Vincent Chong’s Nekropolis Artwork
I love the art work of Vincent Chong and I think he’s done some of his best work on this series. His understanding of the city is, in my opinion, spot on.
