Practical Demonkeeping

Practical Demonkeeping

In Christopher Moore&#39;s ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and &#39;roads&#39; scholar Travis O&#39;Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.<br /> <br /> Behind the fake Tudor facade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy travelling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.
