Justin Alcala Poradie kníh

Justin Alcala je prozaik, ktorý sa ponára do podstaty moderného sveta cez optiku nadprirodzeného. Jeho diela často skúmajú hranice reality v rámci jeho vlastného rozsiahleho univerza Plenty Dreadful, kde sa prelínajú všedné dni s temnými silami. Alcala venuje svoje písanie hlbokému skúmaniu tém, ktoré ho fascinujú, či už prostredníctvom rozsiahleho výskumu, alebo cestovaním. Jeho jedinečný štýl a záľuba v neobvyklých postavách a situáciách ponúkajú čitateľom neotrelý pohľad na žáner špekulatívnej fikcie.

Fans of Terry Pratchett and Shane Kuhn's THE INTERN'S HANDBOOK will love this noir supernatural thriller. Death needs a vacation. Badly. But there's a catch: There are people who cheat the system, always falling through the cracks and not dying like they're supposed to. Who's going to take care of them while Death's sipping on sangria? The answer is simple: Death needs an intern, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that one prospect, Buck Palasinksia-a bankrupt hitman with a roleplaying addiction-might have what it takes. While scoping out his next target, Buck gets drilled in the forehead by a bullet and falls right into Death's lap. If they shove him back into his body, he'll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death's right-hand. All he has to do is take out Public Enemy No. 1, John Dillinger, and quit smoking.
