The Sick Box

By Matthew Fries

Life sucks and then you die! You die and go to hell, which sucks way worse! But, what if you were offered a chance to do it all over again? What lengths would you go to for a new start?

The clickety-clack of Hell’s keyboards sounds like a plague of locusts, and the mind-crushing boredom of futile office work is enough to drive a person insane, but Karen Floyd persists. Every day, she shows up for her job at the Nakara Corporation (Hell’s largest provider of cell phone service, Internet, and Cable television), hoping to catch a break.

Then, one fateful day, a call comes in. Satan has plans to make Hell great again! Satan wants Karen to lead the team on a new communications project. She has until Monday to possess the body of a five-year-old girl, avoid an exorcism, and finish a rather unruly spreadsheet — that may, or may not, be the key to unlocking an ancient and evil prophecy.

Now this dark horse, the unholy underdog, has a chance to live life again, in a new body, a fresh start, and come Hell, high water, exorcism, or cat-worshipping death cult, Karen Floyd will get what she deserves!

Wait…what?

You may have read wacky, you may have read kooky, you may have even read laugh-out-loud hilarious books before, but you have never read The Sick Box, a novel.
