This is mostly a set of five novellas based around the same characters.  However, they do move almost seamlessly from one to the next.  I enjoyed the afterlife world Jester created and the young man (Michael) caught in the position of low man on the totem pole in a job that offers eternity, pay, and rounding up spirits of the recently deceased.  The notion of an eternity of collecting souls for processing in one of the worst parts of town and the sadness, disgust, yet transient moments of beauty, is very moving.  And you can't do better than Michael's roommate, Chip, for comedy.  I recommend this one for anyone who wonders why some people just won't give you a straight answer.
