Sundae Driver by Jack Barrow

SundaeDriver
“Would you sell your soul for an ice cream van? As Danny struggles to keep his ice cream van on the road he meets Stan, a mysterious stranger, at a crossroads at midnight. Spitting in his palm, Stan shakes on a deal with Danny to fix up Nellie, Danny’s rusty, vintage, ice cream van. And so, Danny’s life improves dramatically, but a few years on he can no longer face the daily routine of endless cheerful customers and excellent profits. Seeking supernatural advice, Danny learns there is a solution, but can he fulfill the task to free himself from Stan and break his contract?”

I read the first book in Jack Barrow’s Hidden Masters urban fantasy series, The Hidden Masters and the Unspeakable Evil: A Hard Drinking Occult Adventure with Gambling… and Frivolous Trousers (<==click/tap for my review), over a decade ago. It remains to this day one of the most bold, silly and absurd things I've ever read. And to be clear, I mean silly and absurd in the same vein the Monty Python crew quite often ventured boldly into the silly and absurd. So when I found out Jack was not only working on a long-awaited second book in the series but had written a prequelesque novella, Sundae Driver: A story of Dan and Stan, with Zelda and the Welder, to introduce readers to the Hidden Masters universe, I was pleased indeed. That Sundae Driver has a Halloween theme to boot? Well, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

If you like off-the-wall adventures and have the type of sense of humor that appreciates the absurd, Sundae Driver: A story of Dan and Stan, with Zelda and the Welder is available from Amazon US and Amazon UK. Or, you can get a FREE download of Sundae Driver today by signing up for Jack’s email newsletter via his site. Happy Halloween!
