Coming Soon

Gareth Ellis is forty-four years old, works in the Aberystwyth housing office, and just wants to eat his chips in peace. But a wet Wednesday on the promenade goes wrong when a spectral corgi interrupts his dinner with a nip to the ankle.

Gareth has been accidentally inducted into the Morrígan Department, the civil service of the afterlife. Now the urge to organise has got its hooks in him. He’s alphabetising his girlfriend’s spices, colour-coding the recycling, and he can smell a misfiled housing application from three streets away.

With the help of Quill, a talking wren, and a pack of legendary hounds, Gareth must balance his day job with his new night shift. By day, he clears council backlogs. By the light of the full moon, he transforms into a Springer Spaniel to hunt down lost souls and administrative errors that threaten to unravel reality.

Gareth used to feel like he was sleepwalking through life. Now, with a salary that beats the Prime Minister’s and a dental plan that covers fangs, he might finally have found his purpose.
