About this listen

They are hunting us.

In this sweeping, threaded narrative of the global phenomenon known as the Vampire Wars, mankind is unwittingly 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. 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 creates a unique chronicle of mankind’s response to this sudden, hidden threat to humanity.

Some of these stories are ok - but others are somewhat contradictory and the narration poor.

The ‘Moonie’ story arc is particularly dreadful - the outcome is ridiculous and I don’t understand why we are supposed to sympathise with the protagonist. The writer’s attitude towards illegal immigrants, together with the ‘solution’ cheerfully adopted by the town, is truly appalling. I don’t understand why it was included. It should never have been published.

Mixed bag with some unpleasant ideas

I enjoyed some of the stories and would have liked to listen to those longer. But some of the other stories I could have skipped.

Pretty good.

As with any collection of stories there is winners and losers. Jonathan Maberrys story and his narrator knock it out the park. Worth buying just for that. Proper scary. That guy has a voice born for horror. Other stories pale in comparison. Not the same quality as World War Z.

I did get a little bit confused with the story jumping around but I'm guessing it was setting the story for book 2 and 3.

I felt that this story had great potential a d K was waiting for it to all come together at the end but all stories just ended. Very disappointing.

Disjointed
