** There are reasons the undead fear the night...**

Bill Ryder - gamer, geek, and legendary vampire - has woman troubles. The girl he wants is deadly to him. The girl who wants him is deadly to everyone else. He's trapped in the most lethal love triangle he can imagine and it's only going to get worse.

On the eve of war, The Icon - ancient foe of the vampire race - has arisen. Panic is about to break out within the undead ranks and Bill is caught smack dab in the middle of it. Destiny has placed them on a cataclysmic collision course, but there's just one small catch: he's in love with her.

Now he finds himself in a race against supernatural assassins to save the person who's fated to destroy him. Talk about being damned if you do...

Unsure of his allies and outnumbered by enemies, Bill must dig deep within himself and find the faith to succeed - because if he fails, it'll be more than just his social life in tatters.

Holier Than Thou (the Tome of Bill, part 4) is 95k words of foul-mouthed undead insanity by Rick Gualtieri, author of Bill The Vampire and The Mourning Woods.

### From the Author

Welcome to the fourth book in my *Tome of Bill *comedy / horror series.

This series is about a geeky gamer who finds himself thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and assorted other horrors - most of whom want him dead. Looking for brooding heroes pining for lost love?  Well, I'm afraid you should seek your reading pleasure elsewhere.  The hero of these stories, Bill Ryder, is much more likely to spend his days wondering whether Captain Picard could beat Gandalf the Grey in a battle of wits - all while throwing out caustic one-liners at the creatures dragging the world to Hell around him. What better way to combat the forces of evil than with a quick wit and sarcastic attitude?

I have a lot of fun writing these stories. I very much hope you enjoy them.

The Tome of Bill currently includes:
** Bill the Vampire** (book 1)
** Scary Dead Things** (book 2)
** The Mourning Woods** (book 3)
**Holier Than Thou **(book 4)
**Sunset Strip**: A Tale From The Tome Of Bill
**Goddamned Freaky Monsters** (book 5)

**The Tome of Bill Compendium** (vol 1) - Books 1-4 of the series in one collection for those who wish to follow the adventure and save a few bucks in the process.

### About the Author

Rick Gualtieri lives alone in central New Jersey with only his wife, 3 kids, and countless pets to both keep him company and constantly plot against him. When he's not busy monkey-clicking out words, he can typically be found jealously guarding his collection of vintage Transformers from all who would seek to defile them. 

*Defilers beware!*
