About Derek

Derek (D.E.) Ladd is a multi-genre writer of short stories, novels, and screenplays. He first began telling stories as a child using toy cars and action figures, and wrote his first novella on notebook paper at the age of thirteen. Derek is a two-time PAGE Awards winner known for crafting horror, action, and sci-fi sprinkled with dashes of humor—much of it on the darker side. When he’s not writing or helping others as a story analyst, he spends most of his time preparing for an alien-zombie-ninja warrior invasion.

    Interview with a REAL Vampire (2010)
    Film (Short, Comedy, Fantasy and Horror) Producer Wesley Fiasco has big dreams of being turned into a vampire on camera in front of his audience. After annoying his vampire guest he slowly discovers that being a vampire is nothing like he imagined. In addition to avoiding sunlight and wooden stakes, he'll have to watch out for speeding buses, yellow mustard and certain kinds of hair spray. He'll also be weaker and will only be able to turn into a rat -- not a bat, as he had hoped. Bombarded by all the negative aspects of being a vampire and berated by his prickly vampire guest, Wesley must decide whether or not to back out of the deal...or go through with it to please his fans.
