Unnatural Selection by Simon Whitmore
When an ancient feud between the Mitclani and the Urbat—ancient vampires and age-old werewolves—finally spills out onto the streets of the world, many are caught in the crossfire; the victims either turned, brutally murdered or taken as food. Those left find themselves scavenging by day and fighting off Mitclani raiders at night. Alone and desperate, five occupants barricade themselves in a house in one of London’s elite neighbourhoods. They all have separate agendas but one common goal. Staying alive during the day is relatively easy, if you’ve got the right weapons, but keeping death from the door at night is another thing altogether. And, as if keeping blood-hungry vampires out wasn’t enough, to top it off the full moon is only days away, meaning the square could soon be rife with menacing wolves. It is survival of the fittest, where any moment an attack from otherworldly beings with large teeth and sharp claws is a possibility.

Author Bio:
English author Simon Whitmore was born in Leicester, and spent his youth watching all the late night horror double-bills on TV and reading some of the many tales of Agaton Sax by Swedish author Nils-Olof Franzén. Growing up, he dragged himself through the 1980s to the tunes of The Smiths, Madness, New Order, The Human League, Yazoo, Heaven 17, OMD and Japan amongst many others (some good, some bad).
In 1996, he moved to New Zealand where he worked in the security industry. It was during his time in NZ he stepped up his reading, in particular the many theories surrounding the Jack the Ripper case of 1888. After seven years, he returned to the UK with a passion for writing.
Some of his favourite reads include Neverwhere & The Graveyard Book, both by Neil Gaiman, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, I am Legend by Richard Matheson and Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks.
