Michael is as equally disillusioned with death as he was with life, but at least life made more sense.In Forever After, Michael starts to question whether his immortality is really worth having. He sees clueless souls cross over every day, and battling confused succubi, tormented psychopaths, evil henchmen, and even a demon who thinks he’s Santa Claus is getting boring. Is there something more exciting for this grim reaper to do in this sad little town? This darkly humorous novel is set in a fantasy world that exists parallel to ours—a world where anything is possible, very little makes sense, and nothing is as it seems.

Candide

Voltaire

"Candide" is a satirical novel written by the French philosopher and writer, Voltaire. It was first published in 1759 and is considered one of the most famous works of the Enlightenment era. 
The novel tells the story of a young man named Candide, who is optimistic and believes that everything happens for the best in the world. However, he is faced with a series of tragic events, including being banished from his home, witnessing a devastating earthquake, and experiencing war and injustice. 
Throughout the novel, Voltaire uses irony, sarcasm, and parody to critique various aspects of society, including religion, philosophy, politics, and human nature. He questions the idea that this is the best of all possible worlds, as espoused by the philosopher Leibniz, and argues that the world is full of suffering and injustice. 
Despite its serious themes, "Candide" is also known for its humor and wit. It is filled with absurd characters and events, and its witty satire often takes aim at the hypocrisy and absurdity of society. 
Overall, "Candide" is a complex work that explores the human condition and the flaws of society through a combination of tragedy and comedy.

Utopia PR

Adam Bender

IndieReader Discovery Awards 2021 Winner for Humor 
Utopia PR is a sci-fi satire about seeking work-life balance while doing public relations for an authoritarian president. 
PR extraordinaire Blake Hamner (the n is silent) put off his honeymoon for his big break: joining a major political campaign for president. Now, the "Hammer" struggles to make time for his marriage as Crisis Communications Manager for Our Leader, who since taking power has become increasingly mad and totalitarian. 
The Hammer starts to reconsider his career choices when one of Our Leader's savage steel hounds attacks the Comms team at a press conference. He'd love to talk about his erratic job with his wife, Triple-N news anchor Maria Worthington, but they have a rule: the broadcast journalist doesn't ask Blake for inside information about his work, and the spin doctor doesn't use their relationship as leverage on what Maria reports. They say you shouldn't keep things from each other in a marriage, but it's OK—the only secrets between Blake and Maria are professional. 
When a revolutionary levels grave allegations against Our Leader—and accuses Blake of distributing disinformation and propaganda to cover it up—the PR rep who thought he could talk his way out of any crisis finds himself utterly trapped in a dystopian job. 
"In a tale that’s reminiscent of political farces such as the HBO TV series Veep, Bender employs a smooth, amusing, and straightforward prose style that’s briskly paced," says Kirkus Reviews. "Its tone is irreverent, and readers looking for a quick chuckle will likely enjoy Bender’s winking comedy, which is punctuated with genuinely sweet, sincere moments." 
"Sharp and witty, the novel Utopia PR is a free range political send-up set in a chaotic, perplexing, and familiar future world," says Foreword Reviews (Clarion).
