Dead Beat pt. 3: Hosted By A Corpse Taker and Josh

Season 7, Ep. 3
•

Wherein Harry chases trouble on purpose for a change, and boy does he find it. Our ever-growing list of antagonists in this one has grown to: a black court vampire, the necrcomancer Grevane and his trusty sidekick Phil the Zombie (might be dead again), the cryptic and powerful duo Cowl and Kumori, a hungry ghoul, a pretty girl with insanely powerful mind magic who styles herself as The Corpsetaker (but in latin which is even more pretentious), a mystery slugger, and now, of course, Gentleman John Marcone swings in to sweeten the pot.


Also Kincaid and Murphy are playing giggle pants. All in all, a.....well, its actually a pretty standard situation for Dresden. Hop on in and see how he handles it, and learn if Josh will ever be able to finish the title of that book everyone is so hot and bothered about!! Chunk 3 of Dead Beat starts...RIGHT NOW!!
