    About this series

    Years back, a blood transfusion with a member of the undead left Christopher Csejthe a half-vampire. Since that time, he's gone mano y monster with zombies, werewolves, master vampires, and creatures from the Cthulhu Lagoon.

    As founder of After Dark Investigations, he's seen his fair share of the seedy side of the supernatural world. He's saved New Orleans from total destruction in the past. And lost his family to another temporal realm.

    To add insult to injury, someone cut the gas line of his SUV and then ran over him with a semi-truck while he tried to get a tow. But this is the third time Chris has died.

    It's old hat at this point for him. Now, awakened in a world he doesn't quite recognize, he'll have to use his wits to once again keep the supernatural world at bay. INTERPOL is interested in some of his associations with Vlad Drakul's grandson-better known as Dracula-and a trio of witches from Greek myth want him dead-and for good this time.

    Bad enough. But what's worse is that the IRS is looking into his tax returns and not at all liking what they find. Now that's really terrifying.

    Contains mature themes.

      The living dead were making his life a living hell . . . A year ago, Chris Csejthe (pronounced "Chay-tay") was completely human-then a blood transfusion from the Lord of the Undead changed everything. Now he is a hunted man, sought by human and vampire alike for the secrets he knows and the powers that his mutated blood may bestow. So far he's dodged undead assassins, werewolves, a 6,000-year-old Egyptian necromancer, and Vlad Dracula himself. But now he's really got problems. The dead are turning up on his doorstep after dark to ask for justice and the police want to know where all those corpses are coming from. Undead terrorists are testing a doomsday virus on his new hometown and he's caught in the crossfire between a white supremacist militia and the resurrected Civil War dead. His werewolf lover, jealous of his dead wife's ghost, has left him. And the centuries-old and still very beautiful (and very deadly) Countess Bathory is determined to have his uniquely transformed blood for her own dark purposes. Now, more than ever, life sucks! Contains mature themes.

      Two years ago Christopher Csejthe survived a blood transfusion with a vampire only to discover that he was infected with one of the two viruses that transform the living into the undead. Since then he has survived by his wits as men, monsters, and government agencies have hunted him for the secrets his mutated blood may hold. His personal life is almost as troublesome as the assassins that turning up in ever increasing numbers: his bodyguard is a sexy vampire, his jealous werewolf lover can't abide his touch after a silver bullet poisons his blood, and the ghost of his dead wife is still hanging around, offering odd bits of advice. The "neighbors" from the cemetery next door tend to drop by every night and someone is sending him grotesque messages in the form of dismembered body parts that are still alive! Being almost undead has provided a coffin-load of challenges, blending humor and horror in his two previous outings, One Foot in the Grave and Dead On My Feet. This time around an assassin's bullet knocks Csejthe out of his body and into the afterlife as he journeys through the realm of the truly dead before a final showdown with an evil spawned in Nazi Germany. An evil kept alive through genetic manipulation and nanotechnology and waiting only for Csejthe's blood to overcome the last hurdle to immortality! Contains mature themes.

      The portents are lining up for the biggest supernatural showdown of all time and-as if the Big Easy didn't have enough problems with another hurricane on the way-New Orleans is due to be the epicenter. Or, more precisely, the storm is vectoring in on half-vampire (but fresh-blood-eschewing) Chris Csejthe and his rag-tag coterie of outcast monsters. It seems Csejthe's epic mating with a werewolf lover has produced a child who holds the destiny of several worlds in the balance. And everyone who is anyone-vampire lord, were-pack leader, and the odd sea monster god and immortal elven princess-wants to twist this fabled progeny to his or her own power-hungry purposes. The latest thrill-packed, wisecracking entry in the popular Halflife Chronicles by witty (and nitty-gritty) goth master, Wm. Mark Simmons! Contains mature themes.
