An undead monster hunter must track down a killer, trailer-park-havoc-wreaking were-frog in this outrageous mash-up of Jim Butcher’s urban fantasy and George Romero’s zombie horror.Before he died, Saelig Zilch was a chef. Now, posthumously recruited by a shadowy agency for reasons still unknown, tasked with keeping the public safe from things that go bump in the night, he hunts monsters. Zilch scrabbles out of a North Carolina grave in someone else’s body. Someone recently dead. He only has a few days to find his bearings and carry out his latest mission, before the precious few nanobugs in his corpse shell are exhausted and he’s forced to start all over at the beginning. As he trudges down the main thoroughfare, he runs into Galavance. More accurately, she runs into him with her pink Chevy Cavalier.A case of unfortunate timing? Maybe not. Turns out the critter Zilch has been dispatched to dispatch of—a murderous were-frog—squelches uncomfortably close to the trailer Galavance calls home. And come to think of it, Galavance''s boyfriend Jolby has been spending a lot of nights out lately . . .Stuffing gross-out humor, greasy fast food, and psychedelic amphibians into a blender on high, Aftertaste is a wild ride through life, afterlife, and the American South.

AFTERTASTE liest sich so, als hätte man widerlichen Humor, schmieriges Fast-Food und psychedelische Amphibien in einen Mixer gestopft und bei höchster Stufe durchpüriert. Eine haarsträubende Mixtur aus Jim Butchers Dresden-Files und dem Zombie-Horror eines George A. Romero.Inhalt:Früher war Saelig Zilch ein Koch. Nun aber, nach seinem Tod, hat ihn eine geheimnisvolle Organisation rekrutiert, um jene Monster zu jagen, die die Welt der Lebenden bedrohen.Also klettert Zilch in North Carolina im Körper eines frisch Verstorbenen aus einem Grab. Ihm bleibt nur wenig Zeit, seine Mission auszuführen, bevor sein Körper auseinanderfällt und er wieder ganz von vorn anfangen muss. Nach wenigen wackeligen Schritten prallt er auch schon gleich in Galavance … beziehungsweise sie gegen ihn, mit ihrem pinkfarbenen Chevy.Ein Zufall? Wohl eher nicht, denn besagtes Monster wurde in der Nähe des Trailerparks gesichtet, den Galavance ihr Zuhause nennt. Und ebenso wenig zufällig scheint zu sein, dass sich ihr Freund in letzter Zeit gern nachts draußen herumtreibt …"Eine groteske Südstaaten-Gothic-Mär, halb Evil Dead, halb Tucker and Dale vs. Evil … mit einem Helden, dessen Einsamkeit nur noch von seiner Leblosigkeit getoppt wird." [Kirkus Reviews]
