The Casebook of Sam Spallucci

When we start a new job, all we normally encounter is an overbearing supervisor, jealous co-workers and a dodgy toilet that needs that certain wiggle to make it flush. During Sam's first week, based in the small university city of Lancaster, he is abducted by a cult of Satanic actors, has to baby-sit a new-born vampire, investigates a teenage poltergeist and escapes the clutches of a werewolf that works in a local zoo. Not your usual first week on a new job, but certainly one you will never forget.
