The Sick Box

The toilet paper is like fine-grit sandpaper.

Yeah, literally, Karen is in Hell. She works at the Nakara Corporation, Hell’s largest provider of wireless communications, internet, and cable television.

Karen doesn’t belong here. She doesn’t deserve this. But that’s been the story of her entire life.

Wait. No! That WAS Karen’s story.

She’s been offered a promotion, and this time it’s going to work out. Karen can feel it. Stand back, because Karen is on fire. Nakara is moving her up to the executive floor. All she has to do is possess the body of a child named Mallory Matthews, avoid an exorcism, and finish her report for the board of directors by Monday. She will pave the way for Satan’s outreach team, the great Beast will rise, and Karen will get another chance at living, in a new body, a fresh start.

And she better not mess it up, or there will be Hell to pay.

“Hell is other people, and those people have a better wireless package than most of Canada. The Sick Box takes a lighter look at a dark subject with wit, charm, and a dash of dark humour.” — Jim Phoenix, owner of HauntedMTL.com

“Part Good Omens and part Conjuring, The Sick Box checks that sweet spot between a dead-job survival guide and a heartfelt exploration of what the afterlife can do to one poor soul.” — Lamar Jenkins, author of The Tupac Files
