Practical Demonkeeping is ideal for readers who enjoy irreverent, humorous fiction with supernatural elements and eccentric characters. Fans of offbeat, witty storytelling and imaginative fantasy set in contemporary small-town America will find this novel appealing.
In this outrageous debut novel that introduced Moore to an unsuspecting literary community, readers meet Travis, a 100-year-old ex-seminarian and scholar, and Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

Description
In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.
Behind the fake Tudor facade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy travelling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.
Practical Demonkeeping is a clever and darkly humorous take on the supernatural, full of unexpected twists and unforgettable characters.
