The author of this short work asked me if I’d like to read it. This was one I read in one sitting. It had rather dark humor and – new term for me – an “anti-hero”; but I have to say that it was unforgettable and I really enjoyed it. I love the cover, too.

It you are looking for something different that is quick to read, and you enjoy the dark side, give this one a try!

Here’s the overview:

A vacuum salesman by day, the introvert lives a quiet life alone with his dog until a work relationship and a dark secret from his past team up to create an uncomfortable imbalance in his otherwise ordered life, one that soon finds him squarely at the center of a murder investigation. With his thoughts continually urging him to make people “red and open” and to “achieve it” with his girlfriend Donna, what follows is a sometimes brutal, oftentimes hilarious, and absurdist account of the life of one very anti-social and unexpected anti-hero.

Thank you for my e-copy, Mr. Michaud!
