Harry's Mortuary Answering Machine: Dark Comedy Fiction

By Michael R Wehr

Welcome to Harry's Mortuary Answering System, a dark comedy fiction tale where death has a sense of humor and the afterlife runs on voicemail. At the edge of a forgotten town stands a mortuary that never truly closes, guided by an answering machine recorded by its late owner-and somehow still taking calls.

Blending creepy humor with a supernatural short story twist, this Twilight Zone-style tale follows a place where bodies arrive after midnight, scams are screened by a machine that knows too much, and a dead man's voice continues to manage the business he loved. Each call reveals another layer of an eerie small-town fiction world where silence is suspicious and death is oddly well organized.

With its sharp wit, unsettling atmosphere, and touch of macabre humor, this haunted business story explores what happens when unfinished work refuses to stay buried. Funny, strange, and quietly chilling, Harry's Mortuary Answering System is perfect for readers who enjoy stories that linger-long after the phone stops ringing.
