Forever After: A Dark Comedy

Written by David Jester

Narrated by Jake Ruddle

Michael Holland is a grim reaper working the worst beat in the worst town. Michael’s best friend is a pot-smoking tooth fairy, his boss is the angel of death, his psychiatrist can read his mind, and he counts bogeymen, demons, and clones as his acquaintances.

His nine-to-five is a succession of stupidity, clearing up the remains of the latest Darwin Award winner or dealing with the detritus of some apocalyptic clerical error, and it only seems to be getting worse. Michael is as equally disillusioned with death as he was with life, but at least life made more sense.

In Forever After, Michael starts to question whether his immortality is really worth having. He sees clueless souls cross over every day, and battling confused succubi, tormented psychopaths, evil henchmen, and even a demon who thinks he’s Santa Claus is getting boring. Is there something more exciting for this grim reaper to do in this sad little town? This darkly humorous novel is set in a fantasy world that exists parallel to ours—a world where anything is possible, very little makes sense, and nothing is as it seems.

Okay, so this was a good book. I really liked it even though this is the kind of book I would usually hate but I liked all the sexual stuff. I don't care. Nothing about werewolves and all that crap and people that are dead but not dead and the souls. And that was kind of dumb. But honestly I like the characters and it was kind of interesting but it when it got talking about Santa Claus being a demon and all that that was just weird. So I guess this is a good but very weird book. And I guess that's what kept me listening to it. I don't know
