In a bout of home buying anxiety, Joe purchases a house through an online real estate site without ever seeing the property. Once he moves in, however, he realizes the previous owner had posted pictures which conveniently excluded the portal to hell in the master bedroom. Riddled with self-doubt and a lack of purpose, Joe spends his nights pushing damned souls and hellish creatures back into the portal, while lonely laboring away in middle management during the day. But all that changes when the Hellhound of Gluttony invades his home looking for a friend... and food... mostly food. Featuring a fourword by Jeff Strand, An Exploration of Existential Indifference in a Void of Confidence (or Good Boy: a Novel) is a tour de force of slapstick horror wrapped in the uncertainty of life as a young professional and seeped in a deep love for man's best friend.
