โฆ Synopsis
Rest in Processing...Mortimer has tried his whole life long to avoid everything. He's estranged from his undead family, stuck in a shitty job, and his only friends are ants. Mortimer decides to avoid the rest of living. But it turns out there is much more to avoid after suicide -- Eternity in a body-making factory, a soul-hungry ant blob, God and his minions, the Afterlife, and even what lies beyond it. Aided by a sentient pile of dreadlocks, his acquired skills, and dumb luck, Mortimer attempts to avoid everything -- and does a miserable job of it. A bizarro adventure story about life, the afterlife, the after-afterlife, and avoiding it all -- especially the parts like working as an aglet-biter, or drinking shots of Holy Fuck. --Page 4 of cover.

Mortimer will not be quiet and go to sleep. Not for his mother, or his father, or his seventeen sisters and brothers, not even for the police.
