David Wellington is an author of horror, fantasy, and thriller novels. His zombie novels "Monster Island,", "Monster Nation" and "Monster Planet" form a complete trilogy. He has also written a series of vampire and werewolf novels. In 2004 he began serializing his horror fiction online, posting short chapters of a novel three times a week on a friend’s blog. Response to the project was so great that in 2004 Thunder’s Mouth Press approached Mr. Wellington about publishing "Monster Island" as a print book. His novels have been featured in Rue Morgue, Fangoria, and the New York Times.
