Being undead is hard enough without a cosmic girlfriend, a vengeful family, and a city full of shadow creatures watching your every move.

Eldritch Blackwood Jr. was supposed to spend his winter break catching up on spellwork, not figuring out the square footage of an apartment that no longer obey Euclidean geometry. But the shadows are growing bolder and the walls between realms are cracking. The cause? Lea, a reality-warping eldritch entity with a soft spot for stray cats... and one very special, very anxious necromancer.

With his poltergeist roommate, undead pets, and a heap of unresolved family trauma, Eld has just two jobs. First, keep Lea safe. Second, keep the universe safe from her.

Unfortunately, everyone from his unhinged brother to a smirking daemon seems intent on turning his love life into a doomsday prophecy.

Necromancy was easier when it only involved dead hamsters.

A stitched-up amalgamation of cozy fantasy and comedic horror, Love, Death, and Even More Awkward spells is about how you can always make things better...even when it seems like your fate dial is set to "things always get worse."
