The Weirdness

Book Jacket for: The weirdness : a novelThe Weirdness by Jeremy P. Bushnell is an amusing little book about a man who wakes up, hung-over, to find the devil on his sofa offering to make his book a best seller if he’ll just help find his missing Lucky Cat.  The plot only expands from there and encompasses elements as diverse as warlocks, hell hounds, exploding port-a-potties, the end of the world, and more.  A book I would recommend to fanciers of eccentric plot lines.  I’ll leave you with this passage from the book:

“I’ve prepares a PowerPoint presentation that will cover the basics of what I wish to discuss with you,” Lucifer begins, opening up the ThinkPad.
“Stop,” Billy says.  “PowerPoint?”
“It’s my preferred medium,” says Lucifer.
