About the book
Kjell is new on the job, the night is cold, and the playlist is aggressively 80s. Sundar—Punjabi, precise, and armed with endless masala tea—insists professionalism solves most problems. Then the GPS starts laughing, the fog grows teeth, and a bone gate drags their van into Helheim.
What follows is a deadpan, myth-soaked delivery run: Garm at the gate (apparently a tea guy), Hel herself signing for “fresh body parts,” iron rats chewing the wiring, and Nidhögg demanding chocolate… and forcing them to endure the world’s worst dragon stand-up. By the time they reach Modgud at Gjallarbrú, Kjell’s worldview is in pieces—and Sundar is calmly drafting an HSE report for the Underworld.
A fast, funny, dark-fantasy road story about bureaucracy, bravery, and the absurd comfort of doing your job—even when the job is literally in the realm of the dead.
