Sinopse

Jacobs is now remembered for his macabre tale "The Monkey's Paw." However, the majority of his output was humorous in tone. Michael Sadleir described Jacobs' fiction thus: "I wrote stories of three kinds, describing the misadventures of sailor-men ashore, celebrating the artful dodger of a slow-witted village, and such of the macabre."In the seven selected short stories the reader will be able to know a little of each fascet of this versatile author.The Monkey's PawA Golden VentureA Love-KnotAn Adulteration Act Back to BackEstablishing Relations Captain Rogers

    Ever since the Big Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the world, it’s been hell being a detective—especially for zombie PI Dan Chambeaux.  
    Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend, Chambeaux redefines “dead on arrival.” But just because he was murdered doesn’t mean he’d leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are so good at lurching. 
    Now he’s back from the dead and back in business—with a caseload that’s downright unnatural. A resurrected mummy is suing the museum that put him on display. Two witches, victims of a curse gone terribly wrong, seek restitution from a publisher for not using “spell check” on its magical tomes. And he’s got to figure out a very personal question: who killed him? 
    For Dan Chambeaux, it’s all in a day’s work. (Still, does everybody have to call him “Shamble”?) 
    Funny, fresh, and irresistible, this cadaverous caper puts the PI in RIP … with a vengeance.
