"In the darkest corner of the dimmest bar in the dankest town, a man sat in silent rage; his only company a half-filled tumbler of whiskey and a lifetime of regrets."Any book that has an opening line like that has got me hooked. David Jester has an unique style of that British humor mixed in with a twisted imagination and dark perspective that even Robert Alton Wilson would love, not to mentioned Philip K Dick. This story has depth with meat on its bones that you would expect from a seasoned writer, well written.This is my second book by David Jester, the first book,An Idiot in Love (a laugh out loud comedy), grabbed me and when I seen this latest offering, I had to pick it up, so yeah, maybe I'm a bit bias. For someone not familiar with this type of genre, I would say that it reminds me of Spawn, the story where the guy makes a deal with the devil to come back to life only to discover that he didn't spell out the tiny details in his deal. Kind of like that but with that British wit that is refreshing to read.Great concept, better characters, and captivating storyline, another really interesting read by David Jester, great stuff!
