A Dead End Job is what happens when the tentacle-arm monkeys living in my brain get filtered into an urban fantasy novel.

Justin Alcala
What I love about absurdist fiction is that it uses the supernatural, over-the-top circumstances and humor to explain the everyday. A Dead End Job reads playfully enough, but it covertly touches on mental health, corruption of power and the price of redemption. Oh, and it has like… one-thousand fart jokes.
Justin Alcala, A Dead End Job
