The Vampire Gideon's Suicide Hotline & Halfway House for Ophraned Girls

"Alternately provocative and tender, Andrew Katz's debut gives us the vampire we've been waiting for: a ghastly undead specimen with wisdom to share." -- Stephanie Feldman, author of Saturnalia and winner of the Crawford Fantasy Award

A vampire who runs a suicide hotline tries to do what he can to help humans who don't want to live any longer and, in the process, accidentally adopts a teenage girl. This dark comedy follows the vampire Gideon as he tries to help the contemporary "children" he meets over the hotline--even as he avoids finding ways to help himself.

Andrew Katz is an avid reader and writer, and thinks that the written word is a huge boon for people's mental health whether they plan to do anything with their personal writing or not. He is a dog dad, carpenter, and disc golfer. He thinks there are other things about him that might be interesting but is trying to employ brevity here.
