Synopsis
This darkly wacky take on the Grim Reaper from the author of BLOODSUCKING FIENDS features cameo appearances from several characters of that previous novel. Recent widower Charlie Asher, a sweet but somewhat wimpy worrywart, learns that he has been chosen to become a Death Merchant, one of many responsible for recovering the object from a dead person that holds that person's soul and passing that soul vessel on to another, living person. The job maintains a cosmic balance that prevents the forces of darkness from rising up and taking over the world. Unfortunately, someone (possibly Charlie) has already upset that balance.

Reviews
It took me longer than usual to get into this book, but once I did, I thought it was very funny. If you have kids, don't listen to it around them. The language and some of the content is not for children.
