Two friends who have drifted apart go on an unintended journey when they take a drug that technically turns them into zombies for 72 hours. But near immortal cultists intent on journeying to the other side will stop at nothing to get the 'Bloom' back, even if it means taking it from their undead bodies. As the two men run for their unlives they test the bonds of friendship and learn the whole universe is depending on them. So we're probably screwed.

A husband survives an autopsy and his wife has a complaint, a woman experiences existential dread after a police interrogation, twin sisters find the instrument of their father's ongoing death, and a contestant at a hot dog eating contest won't stop eating no matter what is in front of him. Also, poems about the withering and revival of love thought to be lost and angels with strange motives-this is a book that will make every reader laugh, cry, and hide every part of their body beneath the covers. This is Rice at his absolute best...and at his earliest; the oldest story taken from an 8th grade class assignment from over 30 years ago.

I wanted to have a kiddo with a human. I had it all lined up for this adult film star to carry my seed, except the demon who shall remain unnamed screwed up and impregnated the wrong person.A male wrong person.And now I'm gonna have to go up there to fix this mistake myself. But, it's going to be a chore. He's got a wife who is pretty savvy, and I think his roommate is a serial killer (Hey, I'm only half omnipotent ).I guarantee you, though, I'm gonna see my junior before this tale is done. If I have to eff every bee in the City of Detroit and Wayne County, my little one will be born - or my name isn't Louis Cyphre, or Sy Tan, or Deb Billings, or Burl Ives...***Praise for The Devil's Gunt***"Dean's constant clever innuendos had me laughing out loud at multiple points throughout the book. - Millie Frankel (4/5)5 severed fingers out of 5. - The Yeti Reads and Reviews"A Perversely Good Time." - A.G.
