Old Haunts (The 'How To Be Dead' Grim Reaper Comedy Horror Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Dave Turner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 840 ratings
Death's not taking the news he received at the end of Paper Cuts very well...

Dave is still getting used to the undead trying kill him at regular intervals while he and Anne attempt to solve the mystery of the strange forces that continue to engulf London.

And Melanie's still putting up with more than any person should in a relationship.

When the true nature of what lies at the dark heart of UberSystems International is revealed, can the team pull together and stop the impending bijou Apocalypse-ette?

Death's come to kick ass and eat biscuits. And he's all out of biscuits.

Old Haunts is the third part in a series of best-selling funny urban fantasy novellas that tells the story of Death and his friends protecting humanity from ghosts, zombies, vampires and medium-sized apocalypses.

After a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.

What Amazon readers are saying about the How To Be Dead series:

★★★★★ “If Neil Gaiman and Simon Pegg sat down to write a story together they might come up with something like this.”

★★★★★ “Hilarious and unexpectedly moving.”

★★★★★ “Laugh out loud funny… It’s been a while since an author has made me laugh more than Pratchett does.”

★★★★★ "Each part of this trilogy is a compelling story which seems to gather pace."

★★★★★ "If you like Tom Holt, Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett, Dave Turner's books will fit perfectly into your collection."

    Not as fast paced as the last 2 books of the trilogy but it still a good book. Only reason why I give it 4 stars is because I believe the author could have come up with a much better ending

    Can't recommend this entire series enough. Binge read all 3 books in 3 days and I'm off to start the next one immediately, so a longer review will have to wait.

    But could there be a better endorsement of the books? ;)

    A pleasant and quick read. Continues the adventure and I am enjoying the books, but I have been hoping that they would "ramp up" a bit. I want more humor and more plot twists (as I think back, I can only remember one...). And a longer book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars great series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    These books are well written and the characters are genuinely run of mill everyday folk like all of us, making them easy to like and understand. I laugh out loud now and then and smile a lot when reading these, although I do have quite a childish sense of humour. All of this series I have read so far I have thoroughly enjoyed, but this did seem to lag a little towards the end. This just may have been me losing concentration after reading the same author for 3 books. I can't even sit through an hour and a half film. Well worth a read and I have moved on to book 4 which is brilliant!
