Sinopsis

Mr. H. G. Wells, in his “Outline of History,” was of necessity forced to omit the narration of many of the chief events in the history of these United States. Such omissions I have in this brief volume endeavored to supply. And as American history can possibly best be written by Americans and as we have among us no H. G. Wells, I have imagined an American history as written conjointly by a group of our most characteristic literary figures.
Apologies are due the various authors whose style and, more particularly, whose Weltanschauung I have here attempted to reproduce; thanks are due The Bookman for permission to reprint such of these chapters as appeared in that publication. I give both freely.   D. O. S.

    Think your job is purgatory? Try working for the afterlife. 
    For former man of science and very unhappy medium, Dr Newton Barlow, the frontline between good and evil is starting to get old. With Purgatory a mess of hopeless bureaucracy, banal amateurism and unreliable excitement, he’s beginning to crave a challenge. 
    Something big. 
    Something big duly arrives in the form of a crime so cunning, so utterly diabolical, that Barlow and the bumbling Purgatorians are going to have to find a way around their trademark inefficiency, or lose a lot more than their expense accounts. 
    But, with his girlfriend pushing for a slice of the paranormal action, his gothic daughter caught in the crossfire with his ex-wife, and an in-tray awash with humiliating ghost chases, the ever-snarky Dr Barlow is spread thinner than roadkill. Headless horsemen, missing links, killer drones and a sinister jester, Tom Fool is another rollicking comedy from the writer of The Unhappy Medium. 
    A Perfect dark comedy for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore and Jim Butcher . 
    ‘A superb sequel!’  
    ‘… a Pratchett-like quality to the humor, peppered with engaging facts, and a very interesting premise.’  
    ‘Clever, original and hilarious.’  
    ‘Absolutely a standout work!’
