Once upon a time, Mort
Oleander was the Gee Oh Dee (General Operations Director) of the dead in Under.
But his asshat brother Sy started a revolution and Mort went Above to live.
However, being the Gee Oh Dee is not as fun as Sy thought it would be so now he
needs to get Mort back to do the drudgery once again. Mort is not having it. Sy
made his bed now he can just drown in the paperwork. However, when Sy lets the
dead out of Under to Above, all Hell breaks loose and it’s up to Mort, the
responsible brother, to fix it.
Mildly amusing with a
unique premise this rambling tale of the dead gone wrong could use a lot more
editing. I even went back to my copy to see if I had been given an uncorrected
proof. Nope. I didn’t see that anywhere, so points off for that. The characters
are interesting, but the writing is a bit lacking in…something. I can’t quite
put my finger on what it needs. Maybe more depth? Or maybe it’s meant to be
this way. It is supposed to be a paranormal comedy. I think. I’m not exactly
sure what the problem is, but it just didn’t completely grab my attention. It’s
still entertaining though.
