Zoe Norris is currently unemployed and desperately searching for an editing job- any editing job- before she is forced to leave New York City in shame and move back in with her parents (shudder). Her new job at Underground Publishing is a godsend, but Zoe has to admit she might be a little out of her element as she deals with a vampire boss, zombie coworkers, and the underground world of the coterie (the term "monsters" is so offensive). In Lafferty's entertaining debut, Zoe and her friends deal with intrigue, chaos and the possible end of days with humor and aplomb. A fun and inventive start to a fresh new series.
