Practical demonkeeping a comedy of horrors

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets. Behind the fake Tudor facade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy traveling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.

  • "Eine skurrile Komödie über den ewigen Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse. Travis O'Hearn hat ein Problem: Seit er vor siebzig Jahren eher aus Zufall einen Dämon geweckt hat, weicht ihm dieser nicht mehr von seiner Seite. Und Catch ist beileibe kein angenehmer Zeitgenosse, denn er hat einen unstillbaren Appetit auf menschliches Fleisch. Um dem dämonischen Treiben endlich ein Ende zu setzen, macht sich Travis auf den Weg zum König der Dschinn - der Einzige, der Catch in die Hölle verbannen kann, aus deren Staub er einst gekrochen kam ... Der ehemalige Journalist Christopher Moore arbeitete als Dachdecker, Kellner, Fotograf und Versicherungsvertreter, bevor er anfing, Romane zu schreiben. Seine Bücher haben in Amerika längst Kultstatus, und auch im deutschsprachigen Raum wächst die Fangemeinde beständig. Christopher Moore liebt - nach eigenen Angaben - den Ozean, Elefanten-Polo, Käsecracker, Acid Jazz und das Kraulen von Fischottern. Er mag aber weder Salmonellen noch Autoverkehr und erst recht nicht gemeine Menschen. Der Autor lebt in San Francisco, Kalifornien."
