A Bridge Too Few

Rehoming a mermaid caught in an oil slick? No problem. Getting a girl out of a devilish deal with a social media sprite? Easy-peasy. But when every troll in the city is suddenly made homeless, fairy tale expert Dr Epiphany Alexander faces a task like no other. Can she fend off the advances of elderly gents who find her strangely irresistible? Most importantly, can she do any of these things without falling foul of the enchantments, tricks and traps that are part of any encounter with the folks of faerie? It's the end of the world as we know it, but someone still needs to do the paperwork. Incomprehensible horrors from beyond are going to devour our world but that's no excuse to get all emotional about it. Morag Murray works for the secret government organisation responsible for making sure the apocalypse goes as smoothly and as quietly as possible. In her first week on the job, Morag has to hunt down a man-eating starfish, solve a supernatural murder and, if she's got time, prevent her own inevitable death. The first book in a new comedy series by the creators of 'Clovenhoof', Oddjobs is a sideswipe at the world of work and a fantastical adventure featuring amphibian wannabe gangstas, mad old cat ladies, ancient gods, apocalyptic scrabble, fish porn, telepathic curry and, possibly, the end of the world before the weekend
