Eddie Donce: And the Cursed Karaoke Machine

di James Recard (Autore)

Shelf Indulgence, 2025

What happens when the world's worst paranormal detective faces an apocalypse he's completely unqualified to prevent? Detective Eddie Donce has the deductive skills of a goldfish and the survival instincts of a lemming wearing a "kick me" sign. He's investigated exactly one case in six months—a haunted attic that turned out to be dubstep music. His greatest talent? Pepper-spraying himself. But when a cursed karaoke machine threatens to unleash supernatural chaos across town, Eddie becomes humanity's last hope. Which is really, really bad news for humanity. Suddenly he's navigating HOA meetings run by dead people who refuse to give up their positions. Consulting for vampire juice bars with terrible Yelp reviews. Mediating workplace discrimination lawsuits filed by werewolves. And somehow, somehow, making everything catastrophically worse while everyone inexplicably thinks he's a genius. Joined by Brenda, a librarian with an overdue book that's actually a demonic middle-management manual, Eddie stumbles through a world where haunted houses have WiFi problems, possessed dolls need software updates, and ancient evils are just middle-management evils with better marketing. For fans of What We Do in the Shadows**,** Christopher Moore**, and** Tucker and Dale vs. Evil comes a horror comedy that gleefully demolishes every genre trope with the subtlety of a brick through a window. The apocalypse is coming. The detective is an idiot. And somehow, that's the least weird thing happening. Perfect for readers who like their horror served with a side of absurdity and their comedy darker than a vampire's dating profile. Warning: Contains graphic stupidity, possessed smart homes, and one very confused Victorian ghost.
