Readers are saying that Paradise Lot is as original as American Gods and as exciting as The Dresden Files. The gods are gone. All of them. Their last message to humanity was: "Thank you for believing in us, but it is not enough. We're leaving. Good luck." At first no one took them seriously. Until, that is, all the denizens of all the heavens and hells started showing up on people's doorsteps. Creatures that were once thought of as myth are now refugees striving to adapt to life on earth. Trouble is, after eons of living forever, they're not very good at being mortal. Caught in the middle is Jean-Luc, a struggling hotelier who (reluctantly) promised to help these wayward 'Others' live in this new GoneGod world. But taking care of his guests, keeping his hotel afloat and dealing with the constant drama of the Others' lives is figuratively killing him. And now that an unusually strange Other is in town, his figurative demise might soon become more literal. Meet the Cast: - The human Jean-Luc; - The fallen angel Penemue; - The gorgon Medusa; - The fairy TinkerBelle; - The archangel Michael; - The succubus Astarte; - The poltergeist Judith; - The shade Bella... and many, many more legendary characters from mythology, folklore and fairy tales. Paradise Lot is a new urban fantasy series by R.E. Vance. This edition contains episodes 1 through 4 in the series. Praise for Paradise Lot: "It's as if Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings married a graphic novel and had an action adventure baby in Neverwhere." - Author J.L. Cragle "I was immediately pulled into the gritty, beautiful world which Vance creates. The system of magic is simple and elegant." - Celtic Frog Reviews "GoneGodDamn, I was completely charmed by this story." - Good Reads Review

The gods are gone. All of them. Since they left, mythical creatures of all shapes and sizes have been forced to Earth as refugees dependent on the goodwill of humans. Trouble is most humans don't have much goodwill ... Then there's Jean-Luc, a struggling hotelier who promised to help these wayward 'Others' live in this new GoneGod world. It's a promise that just might get him killed. In the past year alone, his hotel was blown up, his best friend - a drunk fallen angel - picked a fight with an Other hating gang and, oh yeah, the world almost ended (again). But things are finally starting to look-up for Jean-Luc. He's dating Medusa, most Others respect him and his new hotel has just been booked for the biggest event of the century. Sadly his good fortune takes a turn for the worse when his guests accidentally set off the apocalypse. It seems that when the gods departed, they left behind their WMDs: Weapons of Mass Destruction-or rather, ATDs: Apocalypses of Total Destruction. Now Jean-Luc is forced to face-off against Ragnarok, Revelations and a creature he's pretty sure is the Kraken. All in a day's work in Paradise Lot. Meet the Cast: - The human Jean-Luc; - The fallen angel Penemue; - The gorgon Medusa; - The fairy TinkerBelle; - The archangel Michael; - The succubus Astarte; - The poltergeist Judith; - The shade Bella... and many, many more legendary characters from mythology, folklore and fairy tales.
