Death is only the beginning...
Charles Stone is dead—shot six times and dumped into the afterlife without a map or a clue about what to do next. There’s no tunnel of light, no angels—just a dusty limbo, a cynical inner monologue, and an emaciated ghost dog who won’t leave his side.
With the companionship of Rose, the soulful, silent, dead dog, Charles hovers through the wreckage of his own funeral and the cynical plans of those he left behind, he's determined to find out who killed him—and why.
Darkly comic, strangely touching, and wildly original, Dead Is Better is a noir ghost story like no other. With bite, wit, and a haunted heart, Jo Perry takes you on a sharp, satirical journey through death, family dysfunction, and the dirty business of being alive.
Praise for Dead Is Better
"It's weird, unique, funny and sad all at the same time. An emotional read, but a bloody great story! I can’t wait to read the follow up, Dead Is Best!"
"Perry’s prose here is blunt, clean, simple and sharp. It's Charlie’s voice, but it's also Philip Marlow, and, at times,the combination of direct language and surreality overlaying worlds unsaid makes this feel like a Noir novel by Sam Beckett."
"Jo Perry's novel got under my skin and just wouldn't turn me loose"
"Deep, dark edges that still somehow let in the light, which is in turn harsh and silvery and, as in one of the quotations, “Bonewhite…like death, behind all things." I love this story— of redemption, of love, of connection— and I love this book."
