Review\nAicher has yet to disappoint me. And thanks a lot: Now I have a new favorite indie series in my queue. Know that Phoenix Bones: International Monster Hunter will not be a just vamp series. The next book promises werewolves. Something tells me they aren't like Jacob either...\nI always dare to compare authors to related books knowing that they might cringe. But, I do it anyway cuz I am from New England and we are direct like that...\nUndead As A Doornail is a mix of Charlaine Harris' "Sookie Stackhouse" and Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" series. You see a little world-building paired with memorable characters. You are drawn into the thrilling but not literature-dense plot: More than junk food but still a satisfying, quick read. I f'ing love it! 
...\nHilarious, witty, and light, Undead As A Doornail will leave you laughing, gagging, and hoping for a new HBO series. I cannot wait for Book Two.\n- The Uncorked Librarian\nI was already dead by the time I was born, and I’ve died a lot of times since then. But somehow, someway, I came back. I always come back. My name is Phoenix Bones, and I hunt monsters.\n★★★★★ 'Hilarious, witty, and light, Undead as a Doornail will have you laughing, gagging, and hoping for a new HBO series.' - The Uncorked Librarian 
The first novel in the International Monster Hunter series introduces Phoenix Bones, the self-trained bane of things that go bump in the night.\nPhoenix knows what horrors lurk in the shadows. When he overhears a police scanner report of a teenage girl gone missing from her bedroom without a trace, he knows something sinister is afoot.\nHis worst fears are confirmed when the trail leads him to a ghastly scene in the catacombs of Paris, the first step of many down a grisly and blood-soaked path to the vile truth of the vampire underground. 
If you like Jim Butcher, Hunter Blaine, Shayne Silvers, Cameron O’Connell, Michael Anderle, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Larry Correia, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you're gonna love the world of Phoenix Bones: International Monster Hunter.

Hmm) you didn't know existed"- (Amazon.com Reviewer) "Aicher's skill at being able to plunge the knife deeper into his readers' hearts when the death toll begins to climb ... shines a light on his creativeness and his overall understanding of the internal workings of man."- Kester James Finley (Author, The Keeper Chronicles)

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform

"A BRILLIANT THRILLER with a twisted plot and powerful ending... It is, quite simply, one of the best crime thrillers I have ever read. It would appeal to any fan of psychological terror, particularly those with a penchant for dark movies like Seven and The Silence of the Lambs. However, with graphic descriptions and concepts, it is definitely not for the faint of heart." - Official Online Book Club Review
A priest hangs naked, crucified on the wall of an abandoned brewery - the first in a series of grisly murders plaguing the city of Courtsdale. A recurring nightmare of blood, intimacy and death haunts the dreams of investigative journalist Steven Carvelle.
Someone stalks the city, and with inside access from Detective Kevin Miles, Steven investigates - searching on his own for the connection tying the terrifying events together.
But as the search unfolds and the murders strike closer and closer to home, Steven comes to the terrifying realization that the killings bear an uncanny resemblance to his dreams.
Is it connection? Or coincidence?
What is the THE TROUBLE WITH BEING GOD?
An utterly gripping ride for readers who love Stephen King, Chuck Pahlaniuk and Peter Straub. You will be questioning your own sanity once you discover this gritty, twisted and unputdownable crime thriller. 
What readers are saying about THE TROUBLE WITH BEING GOD: "... the kind of twisted reality I really enjoy reading." 
"[an] inner journey of our own occasional brutal thoughts and passions and how we choose to manage them." 
"You can't cover your eyes and say to the person next to you "I'm not looking, tell me when it's over" - you're screwed, once you read it, it's in there." 
"A strange but incredibly fascinating book." 
"You think you figure it out halfway through, but there's a twist on the very last page that really gets your brain going. This is one I'll be thinking about for a while, for sure."
"Aicher’s skill at being able to plunge the knife deeper into his readers’ hearts when the death toll begins to climb, and people start showing their true colors shines a light on his creativeness and his overall understanding of the internal workings of man."
