Johnny B. Truant

Smart books for smart readers.

I’m the author of Fat Vampire (which became SyFy’s Reginald the Vampire), plus 100+ books across most genres. My books are layered, intelligent, and often funny. I love what I do, never cut corners, and would rather earn 10 true fans than sell 10,000 copies.

One drug saved the world. Now the same drug will destroy it.

Take Necrophage soon after being bitten by a zombie and you’re almost normal. Wait weeks and you’re half-dead but safe. Wait too long and no drug can save you: you’re sent to Yosemite to go feral, then be hunted for sport. Today millions of “safe dead” live among us … but in the midst of a conspiracy, Necrophage is failing.

I’ll never share your information because I’m not an asshole. Unsubscribe anytime.

The Artisan Author approach

Art matters. Stories should connect people.

There’s a race to the bottom in publishing these days: authors going faster-faster in order to outrun AI and make a living through speed and bulk.

I stand for the opposite. I believe that stories are art as much as they’re entertainment, and art is unfailingly human. I never rush my books, and I make them available everywhere I can: all countries, all stores, all interested readers. Every book is written with love, all physical copies designed with care. I love connecting with my readers and actually answer email. (Shocking, I know.)
