Johannes Cabal the Necromancer may be one of the best books I've read this year. Its humor resembles Good Omens, where the outrageously absurd can make you laugh. It doesn't so much deal in prophecies as in Good Omens, but it does have a delicious deal with the devil, and it appears Cabal will do about anything to get his golden fiddle or his soul and mission to defeat death underway. The book jumps through several hoops for Cabal to possibly beat the devil. Tagging along with it is a monstrous brother, a carnival ready to steal souls, and a lady of pure righteousness. Good battles evil in this one, and often, you wonder what side you're really on. I will read more. Loved it!
