In the sewers beneath San Francisco are three harpy-like creatures, yearning for errant souls to grow in strength and reclaim the world above. Little does he know, these forces are actually much closer than he anticipated, and they’re only getting stronger. Should he fail, the forces of darkness will surely rise and destroy all the things and people he loves. In his day planner names and numbers appear, giving him a time limit to collect their soul vessels. Naturally, such a responsibility doesn’t come without consequence. More precisely, he is a “death merchant”, whose task is to shepherd the souls of people bound to objects (soul vessels) towards new owners, sorely lacking a soul themselves. However, something even more disturbing happened to him while he was witnessing his wife’s passing: he saw a seven-foot tall black man in a lime-green suit standing over her, a man nobody else could see.Īfter strange occurrences besiege Charlie at an increasingly alarming rate, he finally makes a discovery which might just breathe some new life into him: he is sort of a Grim Reaper. More importantly, Charlie’s beloved wife Rachel has just recently passed away while giving birth to their daughter Sophie, leaving him all alone in a life he has absolutely no idea how to live. Many are those who have imagined themselves or others in such a role, and in A Dirty Job, the first novel in the Grim Reaper Series, Christopher Moore puts his own spin on the subject, introducing us to Charlie Asher, the unfortunate owner of a second-hand clothing store. In one way or another, every culture has tried to define and deal with the concept of death in its own way, and a common way of perceiving it is to attribute the act to a single entity responsible for it all. but you really could use a bath.Christopher Moore Raises an Unwitting Reaper Objective completed: You have fought you way through the countless underground perils of the Earth Elmental cave and stand victorious in the bright sunlight.
