Publisher's summary

One geek stuck in a world of hurt.

Gamer, geek, and legendary vampire Bill Ryder isn’t having a great day. His girlfriend is lost in another dimension, his apartment’s been staked out by werewolves, and to top it all off, he’s flat broke.

Too bad there’s no rest for the wicked. Monstrous beasts of biblical proportions have been unleashed upon the world, leaving Bill with a mighty big question—how the hell is one poor-ass vamp supposed to stop something the size of a battleship?

All’s not lost, though. With a magic hammer by his side along with friends too stupid to quit, Bill will have to pierce the veil and explore a strange new world for answers. Success will mean saving everyone he knows, including his lost love. If he fails, however, it’ll be far more than just his credit rating that’s left in ruins.

Gamer, geek, and legendary vampire Bill Ryder is back in the latest novel of the Bill of the Dead series by best-selling urban-fantasy author Rick Gualtieri.

If you enjoy Jim Butcher, Hunter Blain, Orlando Sanchez, or Shane Silvers, then dive neck-first into this side-splitting world of horror hilarity today.

Great Series Development

The only concept I've grown to dislike in this series is that Bill doesn't improve despite the many threats he overcomes/ targeted by. Waiting for the training montage lol

Rick does it again!

There was a time when I binged all of the Bill books and waited for more. Then Rick started the Hybrid of High Moon series and that took over as my new favorite. This book reminded me of why I fell in love with Dicky G’s writing and now I’m torn on which I want him to write more of faster.

Loved it

I never realized how bad it must’ve been for those that have been getting these books one by one as they come out. I was lucky enough to have been able to grab the first 2 three packs and a few past that before I caught up. The cliff hangers are brutal. I miss being able to simply start the next one immediately. Can’t wait for this story to continue

Great advancement of the series!

The Liching Hour pays off at every level: humor, horror, action, adventure, even a little romance and a cute kitten. On top of that we've got some great world-building and plot advancement--definitely NOT just a filler piece, don't miss this one! The pairing of Mr. Fetherolf with this series continues to be absolute genius; he is the voice of Bill and his delivery of other characters runs from enjoyable to absolutely hysterical.

One of the best parts of this second series is catching the actual evolution of the main characters. Bill remains something of a clueless jerk who usually means well, but you get increasing peaks under the surface at a little more maturity and responsibility. I guess a second round of apocalyptic events can be good for a guy, who knew?

Enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to the next one.
