A Quirky, Canny, Hilarious Spin on Death & Its Merchant
Protagonist Charlie Asher, a "Beta Male," is a naturally cautious and timid soul, content with life as the proprietor of a thrift store. What sustains him is his wife, Rachel, who he can hardly believe ever consented to be his partner. When Rachel delivers their first child, Sophie, Charlie's life seems complete...for a moment. While still adapting to his new life as a father, he loses Rachel to a "cerebral thromboembolism." Matters are complicated when Charlie sees Minty Fresh, a used-music dealer who moonlights as a "Death Merchant," collect Rachel's "soul vessel." And now Charlie, thanks to his ability to see Fresh snapping up his wife's soul in her favorite CD, has been tapped for the same job. It is THEN that the narrative becomes hilariously bizarre. The remainder of the novel covers five years of Charlie's life, during which time he intermittently raises Sophie as a single dad, performs his duties as a Death Merchant and attempts to thwart a trio of "sewer-dwelling harpies" out to undermine all human existence. His efforts are aided by a motley crew: his two helpers at the junk store (Lily, a teenage Goth girl and Ray, a bachelor ex-cop fixated on mail-order brides); his obnoxious lesbian sister Jane; two hellhounds; and Audrey, a mystical young leader of the "squirrel people," living beings formed of random, organic flotsam. Much of the fun in Moore's story resides in the quirky events and the sparkling vitality of his prose. Striking figures of speech (the Death Merchants are "secret agents of karma") and aphorisms grace the text: "Everyone is happier, if they have someone to look down on, as well as someone to look up to, especially if they resent both." And the dialogue follows a zany illogic worthy of the Marx Brothers. Moore's book benefits from paradoxes he cannily exploits. Nothing enhances Charlie's life like death. "Until he became Death, he'd never felt so alive," writes Moore. Embracing what we fear enlarges our souls -- until they can barely fit onto a compact disc. "A Dirty Job" gives the reader a great ride, albeit in a 1957 Cadillac hearse.Read full review

A great book with an excellent reader!
A great book with an excellent reader! Unlike some authors, Moore has a way of picking the right reader to perform his books. This one is no exception. This book features Fisher Stevens, who does an excellent job.

You Suck Sucks Not
I just happened to stumble across this audiobook, and listening to it makes it even funnier. The book picks up from the book Bloodsucking Fiends with Jody and Tommy, two youngster vampires just trying to get by in San Francisco. The voice overs for this books were hilarious and very convincing. Don't miss out on the Emperor of San Fran, the goth day slave, the shaved cat, and the blue prostitute. The best part is when the night crew at the Safeway went turkey bowling (which I know happened at a store I worked at). It is always side splitting funny and outrageous twists are Moore's motif. It is a great book about San Francisco, who is also a kind of character in the book, and he does her justice. Listening to this book over serves to ramp up the laugh factor!

Great read if you like twisted stuff.
I laughed myself silly. Great characters and dialogue. A bit vulgar at times but well within the context of the story. Keep an open mind about your beliefs on death and spirits and you'll really enjoy this book. Quite original.
