If I want to survive, I'll have to dig deep and discover whether I'm truly worthy of this new power. Because if not, everything I hold dear will soon burn even hotter than my hair. ---------- From Rick Gualtieri - author of Bill The Vampire - and R.E.

An unstoppable terror from the dawn of time has awoken deep beneath the Earth and is headed his way. To make matters worse, he's been deemed a traitor by those he thought to be his allies. Now he finds himself fighting off enemies from all sides while warring with his emotions. Talk about lousy timing for introspection.

HELL HATH NO FURY... At first glance, most see only a shy girl from New York, but to the denizens of the night -- vampires, witches, and their ilk -- I am a nightmare given flesh, born to raze their kind from this very Earth. I am the Icon, the Shining One, the last defender of humanity against the oncoming tide of darkness. Where most see only a shy girl from New York, the denizens of the night -- vampires, witches, and their ilk -- see a nightmare given flesh, born to raze their kind from this very Earth. I am the Icon, the Shining One, the last defender of humanity against the oncoming tide of darkness. They say my coming was foretold, that prophecies speak of a beacon of hope who will light the way during the end days. It is said I am destined to vanquish the last of the Magi, and face the Night Spawn in the final battle for the fate of mankind. If only things could be so easy. Despite all my power, I am afraid. And if I can’t conquer my fear, face my demons, and overcome the feelings I have for a man I must destroy, then I shall be utterly consumed ... and the world will know endless suffering for my failure.

Night Stalker: A Tale From The Tome of Bill

<h2>ONE GEEK AGAINST THE RISING DARKNESS.</h2> Bill Ryder is having a hell of a week. Magic is back, one of his friends has been entombed in solid rock, and he once again has no pulse to speak of. Too bad it's about to get worse. Something is hunting vampires in New York City. A smarmy wizard has been called in to investigate, one with skeletons in his closet and eyes for Bill's girlfriend. All the while, Neolithic horrors not seen since the dawn of time are reappearing, wreaking havoc wherever they step. Bill will need to rally his friends, both new and old, if he's to have any chance of turning the creeping tide of chaos threatening to drown his city. But it won't be easy. The balance of power in the supernatural hierarchy has been upended, and all the attitude in the world might not be enough to fix it. ---------- Bill the vampire is back in Everyday Horrors - Bill of the Dead 2 - the series that puts the comedy back into horror comedy. If you enjoy the snark of Shayne Silvers, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, or Jim Butcher, then you're in for one hell of a bloody fun ride.
