ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore follows Charlie Asher, an unassuming secondhand store owner in San Francisco whose life takes a bizarre turn after the death of his wife. He discovers he has become the new Death, tasked with collecting the souls of the recently departed, which manifest as glowing objects. Guided by a cryptic book, Charlie navigates the strange and often humorous challenges of his new role, encountering other supernatural beings and learning about the delicate balance between life and death. As he grapples with his responsibilities, he faces potential dark forces that threaten the world if he fails to properly manage the flow of souls. The story blends dark fantasy with comedic elements, exploring themes of mortality, destiny, and the absurdities of existence.
