The Mower King And Other Gems* by Rachel Lawson
A surreal slice of death, destiny, and dark humor
Step into the shadowy world of Rachel Lawson's *The Mower King And Other Gems*—a genre-defying collection of gothic tales where grim reapers moonlight as gardeners, ghosts binge-watch soap operas, and the apocalypse might just be triggered by a chicken with a book.
**Inside you'll meet:**
- **The Necromantrix**, a soul collector learning the ropes from her eccentric family of reapers
- **Dr Death**, a coroner turned reluctant miracle worker
- **Blake Alexander**, the Grand Reaper who'd rather watch *Neighbours* than banish spirits
- **The Masked Chicken**, whose cosmic misadventures threaten reality itself
**Expect the unexpected**:
From haunted living rooms to courtroom showdowns with aliens from the Earth's core, Lawson's stories blend gothic absurdity with philosophical musings on fate, family, and what it means to be truly alive—or undead.
**Perfect for fans of**:
- Terry Pratchett's *Good Omens*
- Neil Gaiman's *The Sandman*
- Gothic satire with a supernatural twist
