    No one roots for the Henchmen—the big, dumb, tough, disposable guys who blindly follow the villains . . . but are they all bad? 
    . . . Or are they just poorly trained, mistreated workers with evil bosses? 
      
    Recent college grad, Matt, is an insurance salesman whose life has turned into routine and monotony. 
    All that changes when he finds himself in the middle of a deadly bar fight and, in a split-second, is forced to make a decision: kill or be killed. Matt chooses self-preservation, saving himself, and, unbeknownst to him, the head of cybercriminal organization, DMF Enterprises. 
    Suddenly a murderer and a fugitive, Matt now also finds himself to be the latest target of a notoriously dangerous, rival cyber-criminal. For protection, Matt is offered the chance to join DMF's league of Henchmen. 
    But Matt quickly learns that the modern-day Henchmen are not like the ones in the movies. They drink Starbucks and watch Netflix on the job, and they make fatal mistakes, like accidentally locking the doors of the van mid-kidnapping. 
    If Matt can't survive as a Henchman, he will face the streets and the Outside Threat all on his own. But, if he can unite them, Matt can begin the evolution of Henchman, and better yet, stay alive. Does he have what it takes to triumph, or will he, too, become disposable? 
    Join Matt in the first book in this laugh-out-loud, action-packed Henchman Training Academy series.

    A perfect story for fans of Gaiman and Pratchett's GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD'S END.
    Arthur Crazy is drunk and seeing ghosts.
    
    
    This is not a metaphor. The dead are walking and talking, and it doesn't matter that Arthur doesn't believe in them. They believe in him.
    
    
    Too drunk to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he's the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he's the only one who can help.
    
    
    As forgotten legends and lost demons stir all over the cobbled streets and snickelways, Arthur finds himself at the centre of an unfolding mystery—a light in the desert, a fart at a funeral—and he is about to discover that an unfortunate surname isn't the only thing that makes him stand out.
    
    
    Arthur just wants to sober up, have a kebab, and go home, but his conscience is knocking loud and clear, demanding he open the damn door. He may not be the hero the dead need, but he's the one they're stuck with. Besides, one of those ghosts seems kind of cute.

    Are you tired of pretending to care? Do you want to survive life with the absolute least amount of emotional effort? Congratulations—you’re ready to become Dead Inside, But Functional. 
    Life is exhausting. People expect enthusiasm, deep emotional connections, and basic human engagement. Annoying. But guess what? You don’t actually have to care—you just have to look like you do. 
    This book is not about healing. It’s about perfecting the fine art of detachment while still participating in society just enough to avoid suspicion. 
    Inside, You’ll Learn: 
    ☠️ How to master the dead-eyed customer service smile while thinking about absolutely nothing 
    ☠️ The science of responding to any crisis with “Damn, that sucks” and moving on immediately 
    ☠️ Why “It is what it is” should be your life motto 
    ☠️ How to fake emotional depth by saying, “I just don’t open up easily” 
    ☠️ Strategic bathroom breaks: The only legally acceptable way to escape responsibility 
    ☠️ How to nod convincingly while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome 
    ☠️ The trick to falling asleep in three minutes by accepting your own mortality 
    ☠️ How to function just enough at work so no one notices you’re doing absolutely nothing 
    This is not a motivational book. It won’t inspire you. It won’t fix you. It will simply help you navigate life in the most effortless way possible, while maintaining just enough interaction to avoid being declared legally missing.
