“Book Descriptions: In an aspirin bottle, nobody can hear you scream.
Outside an aspirin bottle, however, things are somewhat different. And when Kayaguchiya Integrated Circuits III (Kiss, to his friends), a Force Twelve genie with an attitude, is released after living with two dozen white tablets, there's bound to be trouble.
Take, for example, Jane. All she wanted was to end her miserable life in peace, with a minimum of fuss, in the privacy of a British Rail waiting room, but now she's got herself a genie for company. Lucky old Jane. Lucky, that is, until the apocalypse rears its ugly head.
Djinn Rummy is a hilarious novel of magical mayhem from the author of Faust Among Equals and Odds and Gods.” DRIVE
