"Writer. Rebel. Story-surgeon. Making monsters from darkness, and lighting the path for the next generation of storytellers."




Vance Knox is a humanoid, award-winning author based on Earth. He writes hard-hitting thrillers and blood-soaked horror where survival is brutal, justice is personal, and no one gets out clean. His stories are packed with sharp weapons, darker motives, and characters who don't wait to be rescued—they fight back.

Born in a secluded clone facility deep in an isolated forest and now urban-based, Vance draws from both landscapes—urban grit and wild isolation—to fuel high-stakes fiction that grabs fast and cuts deep.

When he’s not writing, he’s training, researching, or testing just how far a character can be pushed before

tough chapter

Who knew writing a werewolf battle between three packs was going to be this difficult?

It's driving me nuts.

Three rewites, still doesn't feel right.

Good but predictable. I used the audio version of this book, and the Scottish accent was a little too pronounced.

The story was good and delivered at a good pacing.

Dear Debbie is an easy, fast read that leans into dark humor and revenge. Like many of McFadden’s thrillers, it moves quickly and keeps the pages turning. It’s the kind of book you can easily get through in a couple of sittings.

This book started out well, went over the top quickly, and took a long, long time to get into the nitty-gritty that we read Dan Brown for. I loved Digital Fortress. Many people didn't. I liked The Da Vinci Code and (even more) Angels and Demons. The ...more

So much better than I thought it would be. It's like a B-grade horror movie on paper, and it works so well. I bought his other three books and will get to them in time.

However, it isn't perfect. At times, the story seemed to drag on endlessly before
