Seriously, this man is a living definition of awesomeness. He did it again. He totally blew me away with his incredibly nerdy sense of humor, fantastically original plot line and un-freakin-believably cool characters. I laughed long and hard, in the most un-ladylike manner (yes, it involved a few really loud snorts, and yes, I am pretty sure I came dangerously close to swallowing my tongue. At least twice). Ushers, Inc. is exactly my kind of book: hilarious, fast-paced, intelligent, toothy! Reading it is a sweet, enjoyable and extremely mood-lifting experience, kind of like having a Friday get-together with a bunch of old friends to watch a B-class horror movie (six-pack of beer and pizza mandatory). It's just.. awesome. I loved it!The novella kicks off with an elderly lady turning into a werewolf during a movie screening at the Flickers Theatre, where Abby works together with Zak, Cliff, and her best friend, Tracy. You'd expect people to run away in panic, but, no, not a chance. We're talking world where werewolves, vamps and all sorts of other undead/living dead things are roaming around openly. Sure, they're pain-in-the-you-know-what, but at least people don't pretend they don't exist anymore. And we have Ushers, Inc. to protect us! What are they? Well, that's kind of the whole point of this brilliantly written novella, so I can't just tell you... you're going to have to read it and find out for yourself! And trust me, you won't regret!Wow, what a fun ride this book was! It's an entertaining, well-crafted, witty and disarmingly charming story that will put a huge grin on your face. If you're tired of all the overly-serious, profound, heavy reads and feel like something light, cute, and at the same time totally kick-ass and cool, well, look no further, this is a perfect book for you! Rusty Fischer effortlessly draws readers into this fantastically imaginative world. His characters are real and three-dimensional, easy to connect with and laugh-out-loud hilarious. They're all very unique and each of them brings something different to the story. Abby is a really awesome chick. Tough, intelligent, funny. She's the kind of girl I'd love to have as my best friend. The chemistry between Abby and Zach was pretty sweet and I had a lot of fun watching their relationship sprout and slowly grow. No instant-kind of love, but a thoughtful, believable attraction that develops with no rush over a long period of time.Filled with some seriously intense action, priceless advices  how to "deal with" different kinds of Undead, and gloriously amusing punch-lines, Ushers, Inc. is a one-of-a-kind reading experience. It's a quick but delicious read, immensely satisfying and compelling. You'll devour it in less than two hours, but you'll remember it forever. I'm a huge fan of Rusty Fischer's work, his writing style is top notch, his stories are flavorful, unique and genuinely funny. He's a master storyteller who writes with extraordinary passion. His rich literary imagination makes him truly exceptional. I highly recommend this and his other books, you will love them!
