'Man by a tree'
Take a devili
sh romp through a world of death, where souls pay for experiences, monkeys are the hosts, and Reginald is the service provider.
Reginald has been in control for millennia. With His staff of hundreds, and millions of souls passing through to experience the delights of physicality, his reign has become complacent. His servants, Satan and Lucifer, jump at the chance to take what they see as rightfully theirs.
The Grim Reaper, or Graham Reader as he calls himself, has been doing his job of transporting souls ever since he can remember to gain his wings. But he has become tainted by the actions of the monkeys living on the planet. Unbeknown to him, a plan is afoot to change the status quo of 'up above' and 'down below', where he is a linchpin to both interested parties.

No one was injured in the making of this book. However, there may be some casualties while reading.
In an ancient and long-forgotten deranged land obsessed with power, greed and mud, one boy alone stands up to the problems around him. His is a typical story of 'boy meets girl, boy turns into soup, escapes, boy meets girl again, boy is kidnapped and becomes the 'chosen one' for a tribe of canibalistic vampirish desire-drivencrazed warriors, boy leads them into battle, loses the chance to bed hundreds of
Amazonian women and finally wins the girl'. Come, accompany him on his fantastic
wonderful superb journey. Or follow the cat.
"With his usual dry humor, Dani J. knows just how to draw a laugh from his readers. This book is no exception!" Jasper T Scott (Dark Space)
"This is a roller-coaster ride of full-on wise-cracks, injustices and cynicism that tumbles the imagination and batters the senses." Tannis Laidlaw (Half Truths & Whole Lies)
"This is one of those "laugh out loud" and "look around the corner" type books." Danielle Lee Zwissler (The Long Ride Home)
