"Razor-sharp, darkly comedic, and emotionally piercing...I See You've Called in Dead is a witty and heartwarming reminder of the bottomless despair, limitless absurdity, and undeniable joy of the human experience." - Booklist

Bud Stanley, an obituary writer, is afraid to live. After his wife leaves him, Bud hits rock bottom, and in a drunken haze, accidentally publishes his own obituary—leading to a bureaucratic mix-up that makes him "officially" dead and temporarily unfireable. Given a second chance, Bud, with the help of his eccentric best friend, starts attending strangers’ funerals to learn a thing or two.
