Michael, if you’re reading this…I would never.

Now that’s out of the way, allow me to introduce you to the delightfully dark comedy, Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide Vol. 1. 

After he tries and fails to murder his horrible boss, Cliff Iverson is recruited to The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts. This is, of course, the very fancy, well-rounded school for learning the art of homicide. Here, Cliff is educated in all manner and methods of deletion (read: murder) so that he may rid the world of his boss, this time successfully. 

There are four questions that a potential deletist (murderer) must answer: 

1. Is this murder necessary?
2. Have you given your target every last chance to redeem themselves?
3. What innocent person might suffer by your actions?
4. Will this deletion improve the life of others? 

If the deletist can answer enquiries #1,# 2, and #4 in the affirmative and #3 with “none”, then they may move on to the next phase of actually learning and mastering the various skills that will assist in their task of deletion. 

If you like your humor dry and your reading macabre, you must pick up this novel. 

This book is hilarious and droll and so much fun to read. I found myself wanting to visit the McMasters Conservatory, though of course it would be impossible to find as it is in such a secret location that even the staff and students don’t know where they are, and if I did somehow wind up there, it would certainly be a one-way trip.
