💀 Where death is a business, and the staff are anything but lifeless…
Charon Drax—ferryman of the dead and part-time entrepreneur—launches a funeral home staffed by reluctant necromancers, moody reapers, and one Coldplay-obsessed coroner with a flair for chaos. When the dearly departed start stirring and the living can't stop grieving, it's up to Charon and her undead crew to keep the business afloat… even if it kills them.
From gothic eulogies to magical mishaps, Karen's Undertaking is a darkly comedic romp through the underworld of funeral rites, family drama, and Coldplay-fueled existential crises. Featuring Blake, the emotionally embalmed illusionist, and Lance, the necromancer with a serial killer reputation, this supernatural satire delivers heart, humor, and a chorus of “O-o-o-oh”s you won’t forget.
Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when the reapers unionize.
