Life begins when your boss is killed.

Five years ago, Cason Cole walked away from his wife and son and became a chew toy to an actual god. Now, as the being he both loves and hates lies dying at his feet, the explosion still ringing in his ears, Cason is finally free.

For the past thirty years, gods and monsters have walked among us, making us their pawns and playthings. But mortals aren't the poor things they were in aeons past. It's time for payback.

Includes Bonus Novella Drag Hunt by Pat Kelleher

Someone has stolen Coyote's penis. His quest to retrieve it—his latest victim, Richard Greene, in tow—will drag him into a terrifying conspiracy. Saving the world is going to take everything in his bag of tricks—and he's suffering from the ultimate performance anxiety.

      Philly is a hotbed of supernatural activity in this reissue of Wendig’s excellent 2013 contribution to Abaddon’s Gods and Monsters series. For five years, former MMA fighter Cason Cole has been the bodyguard for a man named E. Rose, who’s actually the god Eros. Cole was pressed into this job after Eros saved his wife, Alison, and son, Barney, from a horrible fate. When Eros is killed by a bomb, Cason is liberated from his service, but Alison and Barney don’t recognize him and try to kill him. When Frank Polcyn (aka Cicatrix) claims responsibility for Eros’s death and offers to help Cason release his wife and son from the spell they’re under, Cason can’t refuse, but he may be in for the fight of his life. The goddess Psyche imprisons Alison and puts Barney in a comalike state, hoping to use Alison to find Cason, but Alison escapes and gets help from an unexpected source. Wendig’s staccato prose speeds by like a bullet, revealing a fully realized city teeming with gods who are surprisingly human. Under the considerable blood, grit, and gristle of the story lies a warm beating heart. This is Wendig at his bloody, darkly funny, visceral best. This edition includes the novella “Drag Hunt” by Pat Kelleher.
