Help Wanted: New Devil

Even the afterlife gets decided in a committee.

The afterlife is more like a large retirement community than a fiery pit where even collecting souls has been automated. Death has nothing on his to-do list until his co-worker, the Devil, tells him she’s retiring. For years he’s relied on her to keep the ever-growing population of Patala running smoothly. After five hundred years he needs to replace the most important woman in his life.

To avoid mutiny from the residents (and having to do anything), he forms a politically charged search committee. An increasingly absent Death fidgets as the process drags out for over a year. When the worn-out incumbent’s unstable powers cause a magical blackout, Death fears the living world will be overrun by the dead. Now desperate to fill the position with a fresh recruit, Death needs to make a decision.

The only good thing is that the hiring process can’t kill him.

If you like clever takes on familiar characters, rich worlds, and seeing Death suffer then you’ll love S.R. Marks’ sarcastic take on the afterlife.

Time has almost run out for Death, but not for you to read Help Wanted: New Devil, the first book in The Enduring fantasy series.
