In this amusing story, Charlie Asher, beta male, sees a strange man wearing mint green at his wife’s hospital bedside, just after she dies. Charlie is left to wonder over why no one else seems to have seen anything and to raise his newborn daughter on his own.
Almost immediately, Charlie begins to notice strange things, items in his pawn shop glowing, bird-like shadows following him, and people dying around him. Seeking out the man in the mint green suit, Charlie learns that he is now a ‘Death Merchant.’ The story grows steadily more bizarre as Charlie investigates his suspicions that he might actually be ‘Death’ with a capital ‘D.’
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore is an entertainingly bizarre look at death. I enjoyed reading this book immensely and I recommend it to lovers of humor, horror and fantasy.
