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.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Charlie Asher walked the earth like an ant walks on the surface of water, as if the slightest misstep might send him plummeting through the surface to be sucked to the depths below."
Industry Reviews
"[O]ne of the antic Moore's funniest capers yet."
(02/01/2006)
"[A] wonderful, whacked-out yarn....If it sounds over the top, that's because it is--but Moore's enthusiasm and skill make it convincing, and his affection for the cast of weirdos gives the book an unexpected poignancy."
