Death and Human Resources

The name Azrael, Angel of Death, may inspire fear and dread in the hearts of mortal men.

Those who revere Death may be surprised to find that the fabled Grim Reaper wants nothing more than to process his paperwork and clock off for the rest of the day. Indeed, death and all aspects of the universe are mundane to Azrael and the other officious angels in Heaven. The maintenance of all Creation, once considered a beautiful and bountiful project, has been reduced to a drab office job of number-crunching and bureaucracy.

When Azrael receives a call from old coworker, he realizes that Heaven’s time might be up. Hell has risen as Heaven’s business rival and is dead set on a holistic hostile takeover! It’s up to Azrael, office drone, to confer with his past, and the history of the entire universe, to unravel a corporate conspiracy.

Death and Human Resources is a comedy/fantasy novel steeped in the world of myth and religion, with notes of Neil Gaiman sprinkled into an otherworldly episode of The Office. For fans of Christopher Moore, Death and Human Resources is equal parts office drama and mythical epic. Readers may resonate with the story’s critique of the office grind, or find irreverence in the parody of modern religion. Hopefully, you will explore the pages and ponder the purpose of death in the universe and reconsider the value of corporate grind culture.

Readers are loving Death and Human Resources:

“The story kept me on the edge of my seat. Azrael is my favorite character from the story. This is a refreshing read and a different work from other novels. Mark has done great work in his debut book.” –Readers Choice

“What an absolutely incredible read. Perfectly walks the line between high praise, heresy, and humor.” –Joel C. Amazon Reader

“This is quite the fun book. I don’t know about you, but I like stories that center around bureaucracy and the obstacles red tape presents. They can be as boring as a manual, that’s true, but in some cases, they make for entertaining stories that focus on the humour of it all.” –Nisha Ward, Reedsy Discovery
