Summary: From the Publisher
Review: 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!

Summary: Vampire stories have been done, but not like this!
Review: Chris is half vampire and in hidding from the demesnes in a little town not likely to draw much attention. Believe me, I lived in Monroe and it is a lovely place, but not a destination for the savy traveler or worldly vampire. The low profile is blown to hell and back when a fortune teller spills the beans and corpses start showing up on Chris Csejthe's door step. The plot thickens and the cast of characters expands to include full tilt vampires, corpses, zombies, ghosts, werewolves, and more. Every page is packed with humor and intrigue as the sub-plots are weaved intricately through the story line. Mark Simmons has a unique style that sets him apart from the pack and will likely move him toward the top. Vampire stories have been done but not like this! I give this read a 5 star rating.

Summary: Dark humor with a bite
Review: Dark humor with biting sarcasm, Wm. Mark Simmons has poked fun and taken a bite out of almost everybody from Goth enthusiasts to Star Wars to Marilyn Manson. Sly dry wit keeps the book on a fast pace but some of his writing makes you stop and think. The book is full of laughs and wonderful visualization. So sit back and enjoy a good read.

Summary: "Dead On My Feet" Is A Lively Read
Review: Fans of Wm. Mark Simmon's semi-vampire hero Chris Csejthe are rejoicing in the long-awaited sequel to "One Foot In The Grave", and you can count me among them. Everything I loved about the first book - the wit, the weirdness, the deft hand with snappy dialogue and 12-out-of-10 storytelling - is back and brought friends. A thoroughly enjoyable book. Can't wait for the next one.

Summary: Couldn't finish it!!!
Review: I was really looking forward to this publication, as I absolutely loved "One Foot in the Grave", but I couldn't even finish reading this. I even went back and tried again, but gave up. Too many characters, too many subplots, and too much scientific and voodoo jargon.

Summary: A book you'll sink your teeth into
Review: I've been waiting a long time for this book to come out, as I very much enjoyed its predecessor "one foot in the grave". Chris Cséjthe the almost-vampire is back. Now living in Monroe he's working as a part time private investigator and university lecturer, and life is pretty good for him with the exception that his werewolf lover, Lupé, has left him because she couldn't stand the competition from his late wife's ghost taking up Chris's attention. Things unexpectedly start to unravel for Chris when he takes a case to investigate if a local psychic is the real thing. It turns out she is and she has some dire warnings for him. Then another vampire turns up in town and tries to kill him and the local corpses start turning up on his doorstep asking him to dispense justice for them because he stands between life and the undead - and the local police are NOT impressed. This is a wise-cracking, literary and fast moving novel. Chris reads like an old friend. Once you start this book you'll want to see how it ends as Chris is pushed to his limits and finds out more about himself and his new powers than he ever guessed. I'm already looking forward to the next book in this series, and hoping its as much fun as the first two books. If you like your vampire/supernatural novels with a twist that doesn't rely on sex and excessive blood then these books are worth reading, but start with the first book to get the most out of this one. Though I do hope the next book will tie up some threads left dangling at the end of this one. (eg what happened to his secretary and her sick nephew etc)
