Meet Matt Richter. Private eye. Zombie.
His mean streets are the city of the dead, the shadowy realm known as Nekropolis. And 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.

“It’s hard to say if this singular novel, which boasts a wicked sense of humor to round off the horror, should be eligible for an Edgar Award or a Bram Stoker or both.”
– Elliot Swanson, Booklist

“[Nekropolis] is an atmospheric and exciting mystery.”

Sounds awesome! Especially when you say "...cracking wise like we just dug up the rotting corpse of Dashiell Hammet and put him back to work at his typewriter..." The world needs pulpy-crime-noir-zombie novels.




Tim, see you at the 2009 Sinclair Writer's Workshop!

A revised expanded edition of the novel is what's going to be coming out soon. There's twenty thousand words of new Nekropolis goodness to be had in the new edition. If you liked the original version, hopefully you'll like this one even more.
