As the owner of a successful casino, Burt Donaldson makes a lot of money. It irks him that he has to give most of it to the Internal Revenue Service, so he comes up with a plan. He recruits a partner from overseas to set a complicated scheme in action. Thanks to Burt's influence, his foreign partner is about to win at Burt's casino-and win big. The part that most people don't know is that this lucky winner has agreed to give 90 percent of his winnings back to Burt-secretly. Greed isn't his only vice. Burt's wedding vows have never kept him loyal to his wife, and he occasionally "dines" with one of his female lawyers. This doesn't sit well with her boyfriend, who also happens to be one of Burt's vice presidents. Sure, the sex is hot, but is it all worth it in the end? As Burt is about to find out, greed and ambition are unreliable factors in any scheme. Forced to travel abroad to reclaim his windfall when his partner betrays him, he ends up with more than he bargained for. Imprisoned in a foreign jail, fighting for his life on a murder charge, Burt turns to a higher power for salvation of both body and soul. Burt's karma is about to bite him where it counts, and he's not exactly in control anymore. Will he get what's coming to him?

The concept of free will is profoundly important to our self-understanding, our interpersonal relationships, and our moral and legal practices. If it turns out that no one is ever free and morally responsible, what would that mean for society, morality, meaning, and the law? Just Deserts brings together two philosophers – Daniel C. Dennett and Gregg D. Caruso – to debate their respective views on free will, moral responsibility, and legal punishment. In three extended conversations, Dennett and Caruso present their arguments for and against the existence of free will and debate their implications. Dennett argues that the kind of free will required for moral responsibility is compatible with determinism – for him, self-control is key; we are not responsible for becoming responsible, but are responsible for staying responsible, for keeping would-be puppeteers at bay. Caruso takes the opposite view, arguing that who we are and what we do is ultimately the result of factors beyond our control, and because of this we are never morally responsible for our actions in the sense that would make us truly deserving of blame and praise, punishment and reward. Just Deserts introduces the concepts central to the debate about free will and moral responsibility by way of an entertaining, rigorous, and sometimes heated philosophical dialogue between two leading thinkers.

In the decadent setting of 1920s Paris the grand magus Alexander Tabasco, a hedonistic occultist, becomes infatuated with the actress Mary. Despite his repeated failures to woo her through conventional and supernatural means, the beastly magician finally succeeds in gaining her affections via a combination of fine desserts and readily available narcotics. Their partnership quickly devolves into a chaotic mess of a marriage filled with infidelity and alcoholism, with a final act so terrifying it leaves the magus running for his life. This short story collection also features other tales of occult fiction such as the satirical Lovecraftian "Meat Head" and "The Eldritch Gingersnaps Gang", as well as "Jake: A Funko Pop Love Story", in which a high school wizard makes a pact with a particularly gruesome demon, followed up by the Hellish romance novel parody "The Angel and the Devil", the chronicle of how Satan found his true love in the form of a sadistic happy-go-lucky Angel of Wrath. Herein lies a composition of wicked humor, satirical twists, and infernal romance for those who delight in laughing at the macabre. "Surgat was an odd horned thing who could open any lock, but when Alexander sent the demon to throw open the barriers guarding her affections, the spirit only returned that evening with a shrug and a statement- "The doors of her heart are encased in the steel of a thousand cherubim." Alexander simply dismissed the demon, and thought- "I will have to try harder"."
