Academy Award Winner Whoopi Goldberg says, “I love these books!” Dracula calls him nephew. His guardian angel calls him Q. Demons call him The Reaper. Award-winning dark fantasy with action, snark, and demons galore. Straight out of the pages of the legendary vampire novel Dracula comes a demon hunter for the modern world. Quincy Harker is the immortal magic-wielding son of Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray from the classic novel Dracula. Today he lives in Charlotte, NC, hunting demons and making the world a safer place while making wisecracks and tossing back shots. "Quincy Harker - demon killer, monster hunter, & kin to Dracula, yeah, THIS is who i want protecting the world! I love these books." - Academy Award Winner Whoopi Goldberg “If you love action-packed dark edged urban fantasy with mystery, humor and a lot of foul language then check this one out.” – Sharon Stogner, I Smell Sheep Year One collects the first four short novels in the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter series Raising Hell - Winner of the 2016 Manly Wade Wellman Award - Quincy Harker takes on a demon-summoning entrepreneur that makes Gordon Gecko look like Santa Claus. Straight to Hell - The Four Horsemen are back in Charlotte, NC, and I don't mean Ric, Arn, Tully, and Barry. Harker has to save the world from the forces of Apocalypse. Hell on Heels - She's hot, she's mean, she's borderline psychotic and has a lot of issues with Harker and his people. She's Gabriella Van Helsing, and she's Hell on Heels. Hell Freezes Over - Somebody is walking through dreams and murdering families all over Harker's city. Now the ghost of a murdered little girl is walking through Harker's dreams. Is he going to stand for this? Yeah, when Hell Freezes Over.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

John G. Hartness is a teller of tales, a righter of wrong, defender of ladies’ virtues, and some people call him Maurice, for he speaks of the pompatus of love. He is also the best-selling author of the EPIC-Award-winning series The Black Knight Chronicles from Bell Bridge Books, a comedic urban fantasy series that answers the eternal question “Why aren’t there more fat vampires?” In 2016, Raising Hell, the first book in his dark fantasy Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter series, was awarded the Manly Wade Wellman award by the NC Speculative Fiction Foundation.

A graduate of Winthrop University, John lives in Charlotte with his wife Suzy and a very demanding cat. In other lives, he has been an actor, lighting designer, theatre consultant, salesman, electronics technician, and arts administrator. In 2016, John teamed up with a pair of other publishing industry ne’er-do-wells and founded Falstaff Books, a publishing conglomerate dedicated to pushing the boundaries of literature and entertainment.

In his copious free time John enjoys long walks on the beach, rescuing kittens from trees and recording new episodes of the podcast Authors & Dragons, where he plays a Pathfinder game with five other fantasy authors. An avid Magic: the Gathering player, John is strong in his nerd-fu and has sometimes been referred to as “the Kevin Smith of Charlotte, NC.” And not just for his girth.

Great read! My first book by John G. Hartness
5 Stars
Great read! My first book by John G. Hartness
Ok, so I've read some of the other reviews, some good and some not so much. I will say in the author's defense, that it seems to be a sign of modern book writing/editing, that there are many more errors these days, at least in the books I've read. But if you can set that aside and just enjoy John G. Hartness' writing style and sense of humor, then this book is a fun ride! I recommend it to anyone who's interested in this genre. With that being said, I'm on to the next, The Cambion Cycle: Quincy Harker Year Two! I'd say that Quincy Harker Year One was definitely worth my time.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome read

Quincy Harker is a demon Hunter, his mother and father are Jonathan and Mina Harker. His uncle is Count Dracula, but is known as Luke Card. This set of four books was an awesome read. I laughed so hard I had a hard time with my bladder. Lol. My stomach hurts. I read a short story about Quincy and fell in love with him so grabbed the books on KU. I first read about him in Fantastic Hope. He is so snarky, there are Buffy-isms and other stuff I grew up watching or reading mentioned. Q just puts out a magical smack down of epic proportions and there are old WWF (wrestling) mentions too. I swear when I wasn’t laughing I was chewing my nails because the stuff he deals with is scary as all get out. I hope that someday they make a show or movie about this because that would be awesome!

Okay, so Mr. Hartness does not keep track of what has gone before, which usually drives me nuts, and he failed to write that it is Death who rides a pale horse (I believe Pestilence was given the pale horse), which also usually bothers me; however, the tales in this book were quick enough, interesting enough, and funny enough to overcome both those distractions for me. This is not even mentioning the typos, comma mis-placements or absences, or even the thought, 'Gee, Quincy, a little slow are ya?' that went with Hell Freezes Over. And still I gave the collection 4 stars because of the quick, interesting plots, and the fun word uses throughout all four stories.

Quincy Harker is a hard drinking, fast talking hot head with a dirty mouth and Dracula as a kind of uncle. The action is as fast as the banter between the cast
, which includes demons, witches, Angels, vampires, cops, the horsemen of the apocalypse, plus many more. Uncle Luke, who is Dracula, and Renfield are particular favorites of mine. A fun, high octane read sure to make you stay up late just to finish a chapter or story.

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2022

A friend recommended this book. He said that if I enjoyed the Iron Druid that I would enjoy the dialog in this one. The book is essentially multiple novellas strung together, which made for good stopping points so I could get some sleep. My only complaint is that I'm still waiting for book 2 to arrive even though I ordered them both at the same time. I highly recommend this book.

Q is my type of (anti) hero, sarcastic and funny but committed to helping the bullied. I thoroughly enjoyed Year One and now am in search of Year Two and beyond. Thank you Mr. Hartness, for an enjoyable read.

I am now very messed up because I have another new favorite hero character I want to follow and a new author to keep track of. There just aren't enough hours in the day for all the stuff I have to do and all the reading I want to do as well. John Hartness has just made it worse with this outstanding story. I absolutely adore Quincy Harker! This is a crazy cross between "Lethal Weapon," "Dracula," and "Young Frankenstein." I already have the next two books. Who has time for reviews?

Far be it for me to deprive you of your unicorn! So here goes, I enjoyed this book because the hero is not your typical white knight. He shows us that all kinds of people can be heros, even people we would not normally see as one. The author doesn't whitewash is with trite crap about region of the nature of humanity. I hope to read more of your work in the future.

If you're a fan of the Dresden Files, or Alex Verus, or Sandman Slim, you'll be delighted to make the acquaintance of one Quincy Harker - a spell-slinging wizard with a smart mouth and a boatload of character flaws. The stories never slow down long enough to get boring. If you're the type of person who uses a lull in the story to take a break from reading, be ready to stay up all night reading these.

Shades of Jim Butcher. That being said, this collection is entertaining with some engaging characters. Good fun with some dark moments although the reader isn't allowed to dwell on them for too long. All in all not bad but does tend to follow a well trodden path.
