The Deity Dozen - Softcover
Seirizzim, the newly 'elected' Undertaker-in-Chief of Mortropolis, the Underworld City, believed in 'One Demon, One Vote'... as long as that demon was him. He had already introduced a new word into the infernal vocabulary; a word that spread terror whenever it was mentioned. That word was 'efficiency', and its effects were being felt everywhere. Immigration was being automated, insect-like mhodemms littered the skies carrying messages, even the ferrymen who plied their trade across the oozing Phlegethon were likely to be replaced by a tunnel. The under-demons Flagit and Nabob couldn't do anything to stop Seirizzim's efficiency drive. Or could they?
The Reverend Vex Screed was a preacher for hire, and Mortropolis represented the biggest challenge of his life - bringing the message to a whole city of demons. But the minor deity whose cunning plan he represented couldn't have foreseen the hilarious consequences of his actions!
