About A Dead End Job
When Buck, a bankrupt hitman with a roleplaying addiction, is murdered during an assignment, he’s pretty damn sure he has a one-way ticket to the fiery pits of Hell. Luckily, Death needs a serious vacation and is looking for an intern. Death, the dry humored, micromanaging boss that he is, pushes Buck to his limits to see if he’s the right guy for the job when it comes to taking out anyone stupid enough to cheat fate, leading Buck on an electrifying journey that includes adopting a werewolf, getting caught up in a supernatural civil war and hunting the notorious bloodsucking John Dillinger, all while Buck tries to stop smoking.

Author Bio:
Justin Alcala is a novelist, nerdologist and Speculative Literature Foundation Award Finalist. He’s the author of four novels including Consumed, (BLK Dog Publishing) The Devil in the Wide City (Solstice Publishing) Dim Fairy Tales (AllThingsThatMatterPress) and A Dead End Job (The Parliament House). His short stories have been featured in dozens of magazines and anthologies, including It Snows Here (Power Loss Anthology),The Offering (Rogue Planet Press Magazine) and The Lantern Quietly Screams (Castabout Literature). When he’s not burning out his retinas in front of a computer, Justin is a tabletop gamer, blogger, folklore enthusiast and time traveler. He is an avid quester of anything righteous, from fighting dragons to acquiring magical breakfast eggs from the impregnable grocery fortress.
Most of Justin’s tales and characters take place in The Plenty Dreadful universe, a deranged supernatural version of the modern world. When writing, Justin immerses himself in subject matter, from stuffy research to overseas travel. Much to the chagrin of his family, he often locks himself away in his office-dungeon, playing themed music over, and over, and over again. Justin currently resides with his dark queen, Mallory, their malevolent daughter, Lily, changeling son, Ronan, hellcat, Misery and hound of Ragnarök, Fenrir. Where his mind might be though is anyone’s guess.
