Joe Hill remembers the face of his father.

Absolutely hilarious. If you're a fan of witty and dry humor a la Vonnegut and Adams, look no further.

That's what's wrong with everything. It's the mad who are in charge. Who decided that was a good idea? The gods I suppose, but they're madder than all the rest. We live under the jumpy heel of insanity, is what we do, and is it any wonder we drink, and worse?

Channeling a bit of Terry Pratchett, Erikson delivers uproariously funny misadventures of the odd couple variety set in his altogether serious epic fantasy world. Dark fantasy and dark humor. It works!
