Pyr announces that actor James Marsters—best known for playing Spike in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel tv series—has signed on to narrate the audiobook version of the Vampire Empire trilogy (written by Clay and Susan Griffith). Buzzy Multimedia is producing the unabridged audio books, which are scheduled to be released next spring.
Prometheus’ Jill Maxick writes “In support of this new collaboration, Marsters has announced a very special reading event for fans at DragonCon in Atlanta, Gerogia, on Sunday 4 September at 7PM. This ticketed, limited-seating event will open with authors Clay and Susan Griffith introducing the Vampire Empire series—providing an overview of the characters, the setting, and the themes. For the bulk of the event, Marsters will read from The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire, Book One). After his reading, Marsters will join the Griffiths for a conversation with the audience. There will be a book-signing and autographing session to close the event, at which copies of The Greyfriar and the newly published book two, The Rift Walker, will be available.” Tickets for the DragonCon event go on sale next week.
Marsters has previously voiced Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files.
