PRAISE FOR VAMPYRATES
“This is the kind of world-building that creates fandoms. Treasure Island by way of Dracula, and it earns the comparison.”
—Kyle Newman, New York Times Bestselling Author of Dungeons & Dragons: Art & Arcana
“Avner has built a mythology with real architecture underneath it. This is the kind of world that could run for seasons. And he reads it like someone who knows exactly what he wrote.”
—Jeff Rake, Creator of Manifest
“Ralf Lichtenberg Narro’s score is doing real film work here—this is far beyond audiobook underscore. The voices are so good I couldn’t believe the author was also the narrator. The whole production is beautifully orchestrated, and the mix is fantastic. Somebody needs to Lord of the Rings this.”
—Todd Haberman, Composer, the 9-1-1 franchise
“Andrew Avner has a story, and he knows how to tell it. He writes with confidence, discipline, and real respect for the reader’s eye.”
—Nelson Johnson, New York Times Bestselling Author of Boardwalk Empire
“Beneath the concept, the craft, and the characters, Vampyrates is really about loss—knowing when to hold on, and when to let go. That’s what gives this adventure its heart.”
—Brad Furman, Director, The Lincoln Lawyer and City of Lies
“I’ve spent years making pirates look good on screen. Vampyrates is so vividly written and realized that I could see every frame.”
—Lukas Ettlin, Director, One Piece and Black Sails
“Andrew’s Blackburn is a monster you somehow love. That’s what a great cast does—every performance is fully inhabited, and the whole world comes alive because of it.”
—Jaime King, Actor, Writer, Filmmaker, Sin City and Black Summer
“Ambitious, gorgeously made, and genuinely transporting. This is a full production, not simply a reading.”
—Kate Cohen, Producer, Transcendence
“Epic in the truest sense. The scale of this thing is enormous.”
—Jonathan Liebesman, Director, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Wrath of the Titans
“The character work in Vampyrates: The Island of De Spair is extraordinary. Every voice feels distinct enough to draw. The performances give the entire world shape, personality, and life.”
—Kevin Newman, Animator & Character Designer, The Simpsons and Futurama
“Vampyrates is the rare thing that arrives fully built: a world, a mythology, and a cast you immediately want more of. I’ve been waiting years for people to hear this.”
—Michael Milberg, Film and Animation Producer
