Description

THE HALFLIFE CHRONICLES ARE BACK!Smart-talking half-vampireChristopher Csjthe must face down the forces of darkness in the return of Wm. Mark Simmon's Halflife Chronicles.

Years back, a blood transfusion with a member of the undead left Christopher Csjthe a half-vampire. Since that time, hes gonemano y monsterwith zombies, werewolves, master vampires, and creatures from the Cthulhu Lagoonnot to mention an immortal Nazi, an ancient Babylonian demon, a six-thousand-year-old necromancer, voodoo queen Marie Laveau, the mad monk Rasputin, and a couple of the Great Old Ones.

As founder of After Dark Investigations, hes seen his fair share of the seedy side of the supernatural world. Hes 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.

Its old hat at this point for him. Now, awakened in a world he doesnt quite recognize, hell have to use his wits to once again keep the supernatural world at bay. INTERPOL is interested in some of his associations with Vlad Drakuls grandsonbetter known as Draculaand a trio of witches from Greek myth want him deadand for good this time.

Bad enough. But whats worse is that the IRS is looking into his tax returns and not at all liking what they find. Now thatsreallyterrifying.

AboutA Witch in Time:
. . . a snappy, snarky, and surprisingly emotional grand finale that blends characters from weird fiction, gothic tales, and mythology into one fun, if crowded, universe. . . .Though the tone is light and comically cynical, Simmons doesnt downplay the gravity of the history in his tale, making this a tense and gripping story that is sure to please series fans.Publishers Weekly

About the Halflife Chronicles:
"[O]ne of those rare novels that combine levity and the supernatural in just the right balance."ChronicleonHabeas Corpses.
