About the Book

HOW TO SUCCEED IN HEAVEN WITHOUT REALLY DYING is not a self-help book, but a darkly satirical, modern-day urban fairy tale concerning the adventures of a young man coming to terms with life, death, and all their crummy consequences. It's also the underground novel that prompted a letter of complaint from a member of the Church of Scientology, even though the author wrote enough to offend just about everybody.

"A masterpiece."
-Christie Schuler Smith, The Valdosta Voice

"McDaniel shows real storytelling talent and a penchant for irreverent humor."
-Debbie Lee Wesselmann, author of Trutor & the Balloonist and The Earth and the Sky

"A little gem I personally found myself laughing out loud for more than is strictly healthy."
-Nigel, Booklore: The Site for Book Lovers / Booklore.co.uk

"Wonderful characters and clever situations, laced with a hilarious and occasionally sick and twisted sense of humor It's funny, exciting, poignant, even scary, with some big surprises and nice twists "
-Brian Cartigan, Bookmuse.com
