Publishers Weekly calls FIVE FUNERALS "... sophisticated and darkly comic horror ..."

If you’ve ever dreamed of reading a book in which every character is kind of awful and you get to watch them all die one by one, boy are YOU in luck.

Pinfu demands to know why we still have copies of FIVE FUNERALS left, as he expected everyone to buy several copies. Don't make him come to your house and fall asleep adorably on your chest.

If I don't sell enough copies of FIVE FUNERALS, Homer gets no kibble. Do not let Homer starve. He is very concerned.

FIVE REASONS TO ATTEND THE FIVE FUNERALS LAUNCH PARTY:

1. Literary cred
2. Opportunity to mock Jeff's fashion sense
3. Stave off intrusive thoughts
4. Hear him read from the book
5. Be threatened with a good time.

A little something I cooked up a while back and forgot to share. I think it captures the mood of FIVE FUNERALS pretty well, and as a result you have no choice but to buy several copies.

26 kids in the Class of 1995 at Bishop Carlbus Prep are dead--or soon will be. Pre-order to (maybe) find out why.

The audiobook for FIVE FUNERALS is awesome, read by the brilliant LJ Ganser. If you have a 13 hour flight or drive ahead of you, this is the way.
