About this ebook

Literary fiction meets the otherworldly in this “wonderfully weird and entertaining” urban fantasy for Millennial fans of Victor LaValle (Esquire).

“An utterly charming, silly, and heartily entertaining coming-of-age story about a man-boy who learns to believe in himself by reckoning with evil.” —Boston Globe
 
What do you do when you wake up hung over and late for work only to find a stranger on your couch? And what if that stranger turns out to be an Adversarial Manifestation—like Satan, say—who has brewed you a fresh cup of fair-trade coffee? And what if he offers you your life’s goal of making the bestseller list if only you find his missing Lucky Cat and, you know, sign over your soul?

If you’re Billy Ridgeway, you take the coffee.

I love the complexity of the characters and how they aren't just two dimensional like in many books I've read. Even after finishing, I feel like I've only scratched the surface of their personalities. It's exhilarating and hard to put down. Just be ready to Google a few definitions. Sometimes they explain rarely used words, and sometimes they leave the character, and by extension, you hanging. It doesn't tend to impair your understanding of the book, but it is nice to learn those new words.
