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.

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

“A cross between Nathaniel West's Miss Lonelyhearts and John Fowles’s The Collector...Damned impressive!"
—Samuel R. Delaney, author of Dhalgren, winner of the Nebula and Hugo Awards

"While there are smiles aplenty, Katz also tackles the serious issues of alienation, depression, and mental health in his novel and does so in both a sympathetic and honest manner. ... The Vampire Gideon's Suicide Hotline & Halfway House for Orphaned Girls is a hugely satisfying book on many levels, and I can't wait to see what Katz writes next."
—Charles de Lint for Fantasy & Science Fiction

"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 The Angel of Losses and winner of the Crawford Fantasy Award
