Doomed

392 pages

A satirical, irreverent romp through the afterlife and back again, filtered through the lens of modern digital culture.

What it feels like

This briskly paced, darkly comedic narrative plunges readers into a bizarre and irreverent vision of life after death. Blending the macabre atmosphere of a ghost story with biting satire, the book feels both cynical and playfully absurd. The prose is sharp and contemporary, uniquely textured by the inclusion of microblogs that ground the supernatural elements in the mundane absurdities of modern digital culture. As the narrative navigates the transition from the underworld back to the earthly realm, the emotional arc remains anchored in dark humor rather than traditional horror. It is a perfect fit for readers who crave edgy, unconventional ghost stories that skewer contemporary life while exploring the strange logistics of being dead.
