    About this series

    What's the lifetime value of a dead customer?

    In a desperate bid to prevent being ousted from his own company, a startup founder accidentally draws the attention of necromancers looking to protect their secrets.

    Occult attention spills over from the founder to his shady investor, whose entire portfolio becomes infested as a food delivery app delivers vampires, a dating app transmigrates souls and social media influencer's video game creates literal zombie followers.

    Are the apps cursed or is something even worse in play?

    It's tale of death and revenge set against a sardonic landscape of tech startups and venture capital as Mister Lewis tries to prevent metaphysically weaponized greed from burning down the world.

      What does an occult detective do when a mad god owes him money? When things go bump in the night, the corporate world calls a "physics consultant," to fix those problems that don't follow Newton's laws. Taking a political client on a referral, Mister Lewis discovers that not every Asgardian is deceased. A discovery that leaves him with a dead client and an unpaid bill. Trying to settle that bill, Mister Lewis follows the trail into a world of student loans paid off by blood sacrifice, of industrial espionage that comes from beyond the grave and where urban renewal leaves a trail of corpses. It's a sarcasm-drenched escapade to settle up accounts across an absurdist landscape of ghosts, warlocks, gods and Human Resources.
