Why This Must Be Read

To quote the author: It's wacky, and weird, and disjointed... but enjoyable. Pretty much a perfect description of the story. Using his very best Terry Pratchett voice, HJ paints a bizarre and surrealistic portrait of what could have, but probably didn't, happen to Angel and Spike after Not Fade Away.

It features celestial beings who look like third-party presidential candidates. And Spike does haiku. Nuff said.


Translocation spells in the Halls of the Dead can be performed using one of two methods: the seamless method, which is the preferred method of those who often traverse the Halls and relocates the individual in a precise location with no residual confusion or injury, and the Norman method, named after a long-time translocationist with a penchant for randomly miscalculating the precise destination for individuals to be relocated despite having perhaps the best spatial memory of the millennium.

Angel and Spike, mid-fight, experienced the latter.

They arrived in yet another pristine white room, six feet above the floor. Gravity exerted its dominance, and they crashed to the floor in front of another desk.

A strong hand grabbed Spike by the back of his collar. Another strong hand, attached to the same body as the first, grabbed Angel by the back of his collar. Both were roughly placed in chairs.

The first Slayer walked from behind them to the desk. She had long, wild hair and her face was painted. She wore a charcoal gray business suit with a skirt hemmed two inches above her knee, and heeled Mary Janes.

"You two are quite immature," she said in an aristocratic English accent.
