A sweeping, threaded narrative of the global phenomenon
known as the Vampire Wars! Mankind is silently infected by a
millennia-old bacteria unknowingly exhumed by a scientific
expedition in Antarctica. Now, in some rare cases, a
person's so-called "junk DNA" becomes activated, and
depending on their racial and ethnic heritage they begin to
manifest one of the many diverse forms of the "others" that
are the true basis for the legends of supernatural
creatures. These aren't your usual vampires and werewolves -
it goes much deeper than that.
Conceived by Jonathan Maberry, V Wars features stories from
various "frontlines" as reported by such contributors as
Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost,
John Everson, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson (as
well as Maberry himself, of course). The result is a
compelling series of tales that create a unique chronicle of
mankind's response to this sudden, hidden threat to
humanity.
