Practical Demonkeeping

In Christopher Moore's humorous debut novel, we meet the unlikely duo of Travis O'Hearn, a one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian, and Catch, a voracious demon with a penchant for mischief. Set in the quirky town of Pine Cove, California, the narrative explores Travis's attempts to rid himself of his troublesome companion while the local community—filled with winos, neo-pagans, and charming slackers—finds themselves caught in the chaos that ensues. As their fates intertwine, unexpected challenges arise, leading to hilariously unpredictable consequences.
