In Christopher Moore’s ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature.The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and roads scholar Travis O Hearn.The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets. Behind the fake Tudor fa ade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet.Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy travelling companion.The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.
