"Riveting, compelling and spine-tingling, from the first chapter to the last, it leaves the reader eager to read on.”

“In The Well of Gilgamesh: A Wampyr Novel, a genre novel by Mike Powers, we are presented with a fast paced page turner that stretches back to prehistory and brings us right to the present day with a brilliantly imagined and realized alternative sense of an age old myth.”
-Judge, 4th Annual Self-Published e-Book Awards
From the Publisher:
Evolution is more than just a theory,
and vampires are more than just a myth.
Long before the first humans ventured beyond the Fertile Crescent a pre-Sumerian tribe of naturalists discovered the key to perpetual life through artificial selection, splicing a new branch onto mankind's evolutionary tree: a breed of humans born into darkness, fueled by bloodlust, and living the lives of gods laying the groundwork for the earliest surviving work of literature, The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Thousands of years later and set against the turbulent winter of Minnesota's Twin Cities, The Well of Gilgamesh: A Wampyr Novel is a briskly paced story that combines ancient mythology and a remarkable modern scientific theory into a vivid and stirring tale of one vampire's lethal obsession with a local musician and another's desire to repopulate the frozen metropolis with a new, deadlier breed of vampire.
