DOMINANT SPECIES is William Burke’s fourth novel, following a long career in film and television. He was the creator and director of the Destination America paranormal series Hauntings and Horrors and the OLN series Creepy Canada, as well as producing the HBO productions Forbidden Science, Lingerie and Sin City Diaries. His work has garnered high praise from network executives and insomniacs watching Cinemax at 3 a.m.
During the 1990’s Burke was a staff producer for the Playboy Entertainment Group, producing eighteen feature films and multiple television series. He’s acted as Line Producer and Assistant Director on dozens of feature films—some great, some bad and some truly terrible.

The novel Voodoo Child, Book One: Zombie Uprising started out as a television proposal for CINEMAX… or as its unofficially known SKINEMAX; that legendary broadcaster of late night erotic frolics. Over the years I’d produced three of Cinemax’s steamy After Dark television series – Sin City Diaries, Forbidden Science and Lingerie; that’s probably why I’m rarely invited into nice, respectable homes. After Lingerie’s cancellation I developed a new series for them entitled FULL MOON BAY, but sadly Cinemax rejected it. In my defense this rejection coincided with Cinemax suspending production on all their late night crotch operas… so I don’t feel too crushed. After the rejection I stuck the pilot script in a drawer I’d christened the “Land of the Misfit Projects” But Full Moon Bay kept whispering to me in the night, so I decided to adapt it into a novel. In the process I altered about eighty-five percent of the concept, until it bore almost no resemblance to the ever so naughty original. Now all that gratuitous sex and nudity is gone and I’m much happier and very proud of its new form. (less)
