The life of Death is never simple, but when little green men are rumoured to be plotting his demise things can get oh so complicated.
Welcome to the Business of Life, the company responsible for existance, run exquisitely under the ever watchful, all-seeing-eye of Johnny B God.
In the grand scheme of all things Immortal, Grim Alfonzo Reaper has been the collector of souls since the Days of Creation, which followed many millenia of brainstorming and graph analysis, but he has never come across a situation where a soul he collects apparently died while digging a grave for him.
Who would want to kill Death? Men in green lycra apparently which would suggest a lack of both common and dress sense.
Aided and hindered in equal measure by a verbally-challenged demon, the Devil himself, and a multitude of vapourous but colourful collected souls, Grim finds that his life was much simpler when all humans had to say was "Ugg."
A comic fantasy about Death, life, love, annoyance, violence, depravity, green lycra and just a little Grim Reaping.
* As a small aside, the voice of Grim in belongs to the great British actor Stephen Fry. The novel is now complete at just under 100,000 words.
