Mogworld, by Yahtzee Croshaw

Mogworld, by Yahtzee Croshaw is a delicious confection of, well, horrible things, starting from the sudden consciousness of an unwilling zombie yanked from the sleep of the dead to be the unholy servant of a mad sorcerer.

Well, that sucks.  It gets worse; people in the land he has come back to are acting very, very strangely, as if their motives are all badly scripted for them.

Ah, forget it.  I’m not going to do justice to this funny, irreverent parody of sword and sorcery cum adventure game mystery; read it yourself and be delighted.  Better yet, listen to the audiobook and enjoy that even more.

Especially Reverend Barry.  Oh, yes.
