Eddie Donce:
And the Cursed Karaoke MachineBy James Recard
Length7h 21m
About this audiobook
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.
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.
Warning: Contains graphic stupidity, possessed smart homes, and one very confused Victorian ghost.
