About this book

Danny Deck, a middle-aged Texas writer, finds his peaceful life overturned by the arrival of T.R., the daughter he has never seen, her two children, and her two lovers--Muddy, a failed cat burglar, and Earl Dee, a dangerous psychopath.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

A relentless, joke-a-page apocalyptic LitRPG that rewards readers who don't mind game mechanics on the page. The humour does the heavy lifting — if Hitchhiker's Guide meets a roguelike sounds appealing, you're the audience. Readers who bounce off it usually cite the stat blocks and the cat. Best read in long sittings; the pace assumes you're not putting it down.
