DEATHHUNTER

Corgi paperback, 1982. Cover painting by Peter Jones.

"HE BUILT A TRAP FOR DEATH - AND FOUND HIMSELF IN A NIGHTMARE WORLD OF THE IMAGINATION... 

Todhunter was one of the world's elite - a guide in the House of Death - preparing the retiring for their coming departure... 

Then he was given a violent man, a murderer, to shepherd into death, and Weinberger convinced him that those about to die emit a chemical signal which attracts a strange predator - a creature which is Death itself. Together they built a cage to trap Death - and then followed the Being into the strange alien world of the Afterlife..."
