About this ebook
Unspeakable horrors threaten the earth in this fantastic new comic fantasy from the author of Divine Misfortune.
Diana's life was in a rut -- she hated her job, she was perpetually single, and she needed a place to live. But then the perfect apartment came along. It seemed too good to be true -- because it was.
The apartment was already inhabited -- by monsters. Vom the Hungering was the first to greet Diana and to warn her that his sole purpose in life was to eat everything in his path. This poses a problem for Diana since she's in his path. . .and is forbidden from ever leaving the apartment.
It turns out though that there are older and more ancient monstrous entities afoot -- ones who want to devour the moon and destroy the world as we know it. Can Diana, Vom, and the other horrors stop this from happening? Maybe if they can get Vom to stop eating everything. . .and everyone.

It took me a little longer to read this one simply because I only allowed myself to read it on my work breaks :) I found Diana's dilemma and adventures funny as well as fulfilling. The monster magnetism just adds the perfect touch. One of my favorite books so far.

I was skeptical about this book, but this is a novel I definitely recommend for comedy lovers. You will be pleased the moment Vom makes his first visual debut, which still brings a smile to my face when I think about it.

A funny, unpredictable addicting read. Worth every penny.
