Summary
 -- A laugh-out-loud fantasy -- -- For those who never stopped reading Riordan & J.K. -- A wickedly funny tall tale for listeners who like their fantasy sharp, their heroes sketchy, and their afterlife with a heaping dose of gunfighting. Somewhere between a book like Good Omens and a bad beat at the poker table sits Dead Hands. Coffee Hays has just turned a very unlucky 13. But look on the bright side: he and Dad are the best card sharks in Texasbut that's where the problem started. You see, Dad just got dragged into the Underworld. Dragged down to play cards with the dead for the souls of the living. But we ain't done: Looks like his own soul got tossed into the pot. So Coffee does the one thing the living should never dogo down the rabbit hole. He's flushed into a Texas afterlife of giant snakes, sugar-skull skeletons, and underworld con-men who can smell a live-one a mile off. His only shot at getting Dad back is to win the ultimate high-stakes tournament: One million souls, or bust. Good thing he's not playing alone. With a sass-mouthed skeleton girl, a pair of locked and loaded spirit animals, and a rodeo legend who'll ride any beast you throw at him, Coffee will outrun crazy trains, outbluff demon gangsters, and face a razor-toothed tyrant who runs this whole crooked game. Along the way, he learns that the family you find can beat the hand you're dealt. Jokes sharp enough for grown-ups, adventure big enough for anyoneDead Hands is a witty, humorous fantasy western with an ace up its sleeve and a racing heart under the hood. For listeners who love the sideways humor of writers like Terry Pratchett and Christopher Mooreand adults who still dig mythic adventure books like Percy Jackson's The Lightning Thief.©2025 Mad Meme Publishing (P)2026 Mad Meme Publishing Action & Adventure Fantasy
