Fantastic! One of the funniest interpretations of mythological creation I have ever read. Told from Death's perspective, a diabolical take on God's work through the ages. Death's frequent reference to himself as "...I am the End of All Things," followed by a good shove into the oblivion darkness is just the way I'd want to go. I love the explanations for the beginning of polytheism and the condensing to monotheism, "We are cutting our costs and down sizing..." so told by the human race. His description of souls taken, "many evil villains suffered hernias from having to sustain their diabolical cackling for months on end...", was an extreme delight. Death's first impression of heaven "much like a run down casino vs. the brochure" leads us further into the twisted world of Pendle's book. Only Death would have the guts enough to pin a post-it on God's back.."Take my Name in Vain". I could not turn a page without laughing out loud.
