Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack has announced his new Knives And Pens Publishing imprint venture, in partnership with Rare Bird.
The vocalist is set to deliver fans “high-quality, horror-themed novellas that breathe new life into public domain stories and characters, as well as introducing original narratives” – the first of which being Andy’s own effort The First Vampire in late March.
Published under his full name Andrew Dennis Biersack, The First Vampire reveals “the shocking origin of vampirism, born from a blood plague that transforms the battlefield into a breeding ground for the undead”, according to a synopsis.
“Through the eyes of Vlad’s eldest son, Andrea, the novella explores the clash between dark magic, loyalty, and an ancient curse that will haunt humanity for generations. This chilling reimagining of Dracula’s origins bridges historical fiction with gothic terror, redefining the boundaries of historical horror for a new generation.”
Knives And Pens Publishing – the name of which is of course based on BVB’s classic breakout 2009 single – will drop new titles every quarter, so keep your eyes peeled for more.
