A mid-career demon in hell's Hauntings department gets what looks like the assignment of his career: a house with old bones, good acoustics, and a widower living alone.
The demon is good at his job. He maps the joist intervals. He calibrates the thermal gradient. He stands in a doorway for thirty-seven minutes because the protocol says three seconds and Gordon won't wake up.
Then the demon notices who he is haunting. A retired English teacher reading his dead wife's last book aloud to an empty room, one evening a week, picking up where her bookmark was.
The demon finishes the job anyway. The craft is the point.
Demons at Work is about professional pride, meaningless work done well, and what it's like from inside a system that does not deserve the people who keep it running.
For readers of Kazuo Ishiguro, Shirley Jackson, and Albert Camus.
