A Dead-End Job
A Dead-End Job | Justin Alcala
2 posts | 1 read
Fans of Terry Pratchett and Shane Kuhn’s THE INTERN’S HANDBOOK will love this noir supernatural thriller. hr Death needs a vacation. Badly. But there’s a catch: There are people who cheat the system, always falling through the cracks and not dying like they’re supposed to. Who’s going to take care of them while Death’s sipping on sangria? The answer is simple: Death needs an intern, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that one prospect, Buck Palasinksia—a bankrupt hitman with a roleplaying addiction—might have what it takes. While scoping out his next target, Buck gets drilled in the forehead by a bullet and falls right into Death’s lap. If they shove him back into his body, he’ll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death’s right-hand. All he has to do is take out Public Enemy No. 1, John Dillinger, and quit smoking.

This story is about Buck, a down and out and his new job as an intern to the literal Angel of Death. Yes that is a thing you can be. The only thing that I dislike about this story is the occasional grammatical errors. I loved the fact that one of the main characters is John Dillinger moonlighting as a union delegate. This was a really funny story. I loved Buck's views on his life and the things that he does. I would
