A Dirty Job by: Christopher Moore
Fiction: humor
Charlie Asher is your normal, everyday Beta Male; until, his wife dies shortly after the birth of his daughter. He sees people and things that no one else can, including a number of glowing red things in his second hand shop. Soon he learns that he is a "death Merchant" one of many people in the city that run re-sale shops and collect people's souls after they die. But, things aren't even normal for him as a soul collector, instead of just collecting souls after death, he has caused deaths. And the "Great Big Book of Death" has nothing in it to explain things. (Being as it is only 28 pages with illustrations it doesn't have much of anything in it.
Like other books by Christopher Moore this one has a great list of characters in it. Besides Charlie there is his daughter; who's pet all seam to die, Mrs. Ling; who doesn't mind getting red of all the dead animals, Mrs. Korjev; who is "like bear", Lily; Charlie's goth employee, Ray the former cop who is looking for love on-line, Jane; charlie's sister who steals his clothes, Minty Fresh, "the Puppies"; who enjoy eating EVERYTHING, the Emperor, the squirrel people, and the " sewer harpies"; who are ancient demons.
