Produktbeschreibung

Like a bad habit you just can't quit, your favorite queer as hell alcoholic hunter of the supernatural is back ... just in time for the end of the world. Osgood is in a pretty sorry state after the events of Osgood as She Gets, but watching your girlfriend get bisected by flying glass and then being hurled from a crashed subway train car yourself, well it isn't pretty. She's spent a lot of time in the hospital in the past, but now she's got Locked-In Syndrome. She can see, she can feel, she can experience all around her but is paralyzed and cannot communicate, and while this is happening, something inside her is desperate to make a deal to wear her like clothing.

When she gets back to work (you knew she would, right?) she'll have to up her game. That very subway crash that tried to kill Osgood managed to kill 844 other Chicagoans, ushering in an opportunity for someone or something to bring forth the end of the world. With Chicago besieged by spectral forces, Osgood and her stalwart Spectral Inspectors find themselves face to face with a body-hopping force who may just be the avatar of a god.

One thing Osgood knows for sure is that something really bad is about to happen, and she sure could use a stiff drink.

"A jaw-dropping tale of dark supernatural mayhem, you'll find your self cringing in terror and laughing out loud!" - Richard Chizmar, author of Chasing the Boogeyman

Reviews have called Osgood as Dead "paranormal horror at its finest, with a dynamic lineup of quirky and endearing characters," "a sensual, surreal mind-bender that pins your eyelids open no matter how hard you try to look away," and "deliciously brutala nonstop horror coaster that will make your stomach drop at every twist and turn." Critics call Beckett's writing "sharp as a knife, horror that lingers, wrapping itself around guilt, grief, and the shadows we leave behind," and praise Osgood herself as "the bad habit you didn't know you needed" and "a foul-mouthed, rip-roaring disaster you can't help but love." With Chicago on the brink of destruction, Osgood as Dead delivers "a cinematic adventure for (very) grown-up fans of Buffy" that's "raw, sexy, and terrifyingly entertaining." They say, "Beckett writes like someone's about to break down the door and take his computer away. If you love unhinged gonzo horror lit, Osgood as Dead is the book for you."

Autorenporträt

As a queer non-monogamous writer, Cooper S. Beckett endeavors to create characters that reflect the diverse lifestyles of his friends, his partners, and himself. From that mandate, he writes scary, silly, and sexy books and essays. Beginning his writing career as a podcaster and speaker in the sexuality education community, he wrote My Life on the Swingset, a memoir of his first five years in non-monogamy, then followed that up with two novels that take a brutally honest look at swinging and polyamory, A Life Less Monogamous, and Approaching the Swingularity. Returning to his first love, the horror genre, has been like a homecoming. From a young age, his obsession with horror movies and books seriously concerned his mother. It probably still does. Given a choice, he would rather winter at the Overlook than the Waldorf. Like Lydia Deetz, he has always thought of himself strange and unusual, be it his perspective on sexuality, monogamy, politics, or where Elder Gods ought to fall in the hierarchy.
