Trailer Park Trash & Vampires

Little Drop is a dustbowl town where everybody's a little strange, but no one's a stranger. At least that was the case prior to the arrival of a sinister quartet who never leave during the day but always roam the night in their hulking black van. These predators have rented a lot at Ryker's Trailer Park, a ramshackle establishment where anything goes and everyone's fair game. This tawdry purgatory is home to one of the zaniest assortments of characters ever to grace the printed page, and these disgruntled protagonists are taken on a nightmarish ride that will define or destroy each of them. Over the course of three frantic days, this unlikely band of social misfits is drawn together in a fierce struggle for survival that erupts into all-out war between the living and the dead. Trailer Park Trash & Vampires is packed with thrills, chills, and chuckles, and also features ample servings of those red-blooded American classics: sex, drugs, and violence.

4Delightfully Dirty  Jul 08, 2006
By William Brust "the Conq"
This book was amazing. Think Pulp Fiction meets Evil Dead Trilogy. Wayland's grasp of character and humorous overtones were real treats. And his portrayal of the vampires as sensual, strikingly human persons was especially interesting. There's plenty of action, insanity, and, of course, sex to keep any hot-blooded reader (vampire or human) hooked. On a side note, this book has so much alcohol, I got a buzz just from reading it!

5TPT & V---Horror set on the wrong side of the tracks  May 17, 2006
By Mal Rorrer "The Directive"
If you are looking for the glitzy hollywood-pretty vampires, which politely and quietly feed and sip upon the high society of Europe, and then delicately wipe their lips with a lacey wet-nap and break for tea and biscuits to discuss Faulkner --- look elsewhere.

If however, you like your vampires dark, unpredictable and bloodthirsty, with an animalistic axe to grind against the food chain of humanity - with lots of good ol' american sex and violence mixed in...You should proceed on pawning your Playstation or VCR now to get the money to get a copy of this book. Now. Right now.

This book is more in the range of say, Dean Koontz or Stephen King in his Richard Bachman era:

Gritty and full of vivid characters who you can empathize and identify with and set in an area that could really be anywhere, including your hometown. Pick this book up, and you will be compelled to finish it.

Great story and would make a great movie. If you consider yourself a horror fan, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy.

5okay, okay...THIS is where it is...  Sep 15, 2008
By One_Amoung_the_Fence
I honestly did not expect it...this story is becoming one of my favorite stories from the vampire genre. The many different characters and view points, the darkly comical darkness of the vampires, and the chain of events are just so well described...
Wayland has brought back, with full spirit, the true genre of entertaining horror story, and at times i get the same vibes from this as i do from reading King or Lovecraft, in the sense that he builds a whole atmosphere...an entire universe, and puts the reader in it to experience and suffer threw everything each character undergoes...
A GREAT READ!

5Can't wait for the sequels!  Feb 02, 2007
By Gizmogks
I went back and forth on buying this because of the price. Hard to spend that much on an unknown (at least to me) author. But I am so glad I did. I couldn't put it down. It was so cool! Now I have another author on my MUST BUY list. Anybody interested in a great new horror series should definitely pick this one up! I hope it doesn't take long for the next ones to come out!

5A new twist on an old horror staple.  Aug 17, 2006
By Erin D. Sprinkle
Trailer Park Trash & Vampires is much more than your average shallow horror trash novel. Mr. Wayland has done away with the aristocratic bloodsuckers of Eastern Europe and replaced them with gritty, primal, and at times surprisingly human monsters. The author not only reinvents the vampire genre, but also creates characters that are powerful and easily related to. Readers will quickly forge bonds with the blue collar residents of Little Drop and their satanic assailants. Black humor abounds in this highly imaginative and blood-soaked romp through Anywhere, USA. If you are tired of the same old one-dimensional rehashed horror clichés then I strongly suggest you pick up a copy of this book. An all around great read.
