Vampire Nuns Behind Bars!
If you’ve read many of my PHEMSA reviews, you know I’m a major fan of exploitation cinema. Violence and gore and bare-chested ladies make any film better. Let’s be honest, Citizen Kane is great and all but how much better would it be if Charles Foster Kane was secretly a serial killer that fancied disemboweling chesty prostitutes?
Tons better.
So, I present to you Vampire Nuns Behind Bars, a book that is very much a tribute to my favorite grindhouse pictures—women in prison films and nunsploitation.
Here is the plot for Vampire Nuns Behind Bars: In a dystopian, cyberpunk future, a group of nuns are convicted of murder and sentenced to hard time at the Corman District Penitentiary. With the help of an undercover ally, an escape plan is in the works. But the deeds of a mad scientist and a sadistic warden won't make things easy. And the vampire problem doesn't help.
I had the basic idea for this book for quite some time. Then myself and fellow authors Chris Miller and M. Ennenbach wanted to do a follow-up book to Cerberus Rising, which was well-received. I had the idea that we all do exploitation film-style novellas. M. Ennenbach then had the idea that we all set these stories in the same dystopian future. So that’s what we did, although both Chris and I ended up writing novels rather than novellas. The result was Cerberus Exploitation: A Grindhouse Triple Feature.
For whatever reason, that book never sold. Not even a little bit. It’s now only available in audiobook form, via Audible, if you’re so inclined. Meanwhile, Vampire Nuns Behind Bars has now reemerged as a book of its own! Nora Avery—my favorite all time character—those vampire nuns and all those cybernetic hotties deserve more readership!
