It was a land and time far, far away, or so the story goes. Hear the offbeat narrator tell the tale of the undertaker and his quest for revenge and retaliation. Meet the whimsical and bizarre characters that occupy the quaint town along the way.
This strange tale follows the forlorn undertaker through the tiny hamlet of Krakenshire as he attempts to avenge his wife’s death. The village residents, on the other hand, never seemed to question her death. In fact, aside from the light gossip pertaining to the mental health of the undertaker, they nearly forgot all about the once-happy couple. Almost oblivious, they were. One might even say they were mysteriously distracted.

The undertaker, however, saw the secretive spell the resident had succumbed to- and it all emanated from from the factory on the hill. The evil empire, as he referred to it, was a chemical company contaminating the very village they resided in. And he was most resolute on reaping revenge on such a nefarious neighbor!
Oh sure, there were others who were not sickened by the spell, other villagers who indeed did perceive the poisoning being perpetrated. But they were, well, let’s just say, they were otherwise occupied with their own oddities. And most peculiar oddities they were! Now I won’t go into the particulars here, but suffice it to say, the town was rather teaming with the twisted type, a loony lot for certain! And our poor undertaker has to endure the endless eccentricities as he tries to exact his revenge.Will the undertaker find justice, or will he just go mad? More importantly, will you be brave enough to make to the end?
Suspend your disbelief and prepare for something delightfully surreal before diving into this book.
The plot twists were fabulous. Many of them completely surprised me, and even the ones that I predicted ahead of time were still a ton of fun to see actually unfold for the characters. I was especially impressed with how Ms. Davis played around with some of the most common tropes in the horror, mystery, and science fiction genres in order to suit her purposes. There was so much creativity in her writing that I’m going to be keeping a close lookout to see what she publishes next.
I would have liked to see a little more time spent on character development. As intrigued as I was by the undertaker’s bizarre theories about what was happening to his community, I didn’t feel like I got to know him as an individual as well as I would have liked to. His personality was well-described when it came to his obsessions and fears, but the rest of who he was didn’t get the same amount of attention.
This was such an amusing mystery to solve. I’ll admit to being a little confused about what was going on in the beginning, but that was mostly due to the fact that the main character was just as puzzled as I was. As soon as things became clearer, I was hooked on the plot and couldn’t wait to find out what was really going on in this sleepy and disturbingly happy town.
I’d heartily recommend The Undertaker’s Revenge: A Love Story to anyone who loves the thought of mixing multiple genres together in the same tale.
