Lee Battersby Marching Dead

Annotation

Wry, absurdist, and pleasantly cynical, Battersbys [novel] will appeal to fans of Scott Lynchs The Lies of Locke Lamora and Terry Pratchetts Going Postal. Publishers Weekly (starred review)Find the dead a King? Tick. Save himself from a fate worse than death? Tick. Win the love of his life? Tick. Live happily ever afterah.Having achived so much, Marius don Hellespont was finding life just a little boring. But now something, or maybe someone, has stopped the dead from, well, dying.So wouldnt you know it, its up to Marius, incorrigible sidekick Gerd, and Gerds not-dead-enough Granny, to journey across the continent and put the marching dead back in the afterlife, where they belong.Great characters, story, pace, writing.
