Limited Edition Hard Cover: $45 U.S. ISBN: 0976633914 Earthling Publications 336 Pages Copyright © 2005 - James A. Moore   "The latest novel by the author of Under The Overtree brings his considerable storytelling talent to bear in this chillingly gory tale. Moore's pacing is on target, his characters varied, and his prose direct and powerful." Library Journal "Blood Red is a complex, imaginative, and deep vampire novel that readers will believe will become a classic like Stephen King’s ’Salems Lot. The characters are three dimensional and even the vampires have the personality they had when they were alive instead of becoming two-dimensional caricatures. James A. Moore has proven with his latest novel that he is one of the grandmasters of the horror genre." Harriet Klausner, The Midwest Book Review Moore has produced the literary equivalent of a B-movie. It's fast moving with a good mix of sex, gore and laughs... Moore knows how to keep the pages turning and the blood running. Sad, introspective vampires in powdered wigs need not apply." Page Horrific

Blood Red does what all the best vampire novels do; it shitcans the stereotype and digs for blood beneath the skin.” Rick Kleffel, The Agony Column “Blood Red is required Halloween reading.” Horror Fiction Review “Moore’s contemporary vampire novel offers plenty of traditional horror chills leavened with flashes of humor.” Publishers Weekly “The comparisons to vintage Stephen King are justified. Brutal and scary, BLOOD RED has restored my faith, not only in the vampire subgenre, but in horror as a whole. Blood Red is a book to be savored, one drop at a time.” Kealan Patrick Burke “Moore is a master storyteller who, in Blood Red , weaves an incredibly rich tale about vampires without making it a vampire book.” Horror-Web “There is so much to enjoy about Blood Red. Moore is powerfully descriptive.” Baryon Review "His work stands toe-to-toe with the best of King, Koontz, and McCammon. He's simply one of the ten best authors working in the field today." Garrett Peck, Cemetary Dance Weekly "Moore has woven together the best threads of vampire lore with lust, power, and brutality to create a stunning work of bloodthirsty horror that’s not to be missed. The fast pacing and even writing style combined with cutting if occasionally crude dialog keep the pages turning at a brisk rate. Grab this treat, turn off the phone and enjoy a refreshingly inventive take on the vampire tale." Monsters and Critics "James Moore may be one of the best kept secrets in horror fiction, but I think the secret is finally getting out. His latest novel is certainly indicative of a mature and confident talent. He tackles vampires this time, but not the uncertain, introspective, and sometimes romantic vampires that fill much recent horror fiction. His are downright nasty, and there are a lot of them, and they're about to escape into our world just in time to make Halloween in one small town more than just a scary holiday. Moore mixes traditional devices with innovative ones, and never lets the tension settle down once the plot gets thoroughly underway. For those of us who like our vampires evil, Moore provides the real stuff." Chronicle
