When the Reaper Calls - A Comedy Thriller

Victor and Harlan are two young philosophy professors who have been friends, rivals and inveterate pranksters since their student days, but things have changed ...

Victor has turned into a wild hedonist in keeping with his belief that “when you’re dead, you’re dead”, while Harlan has become a dull Stoic, leading a strict unemotional existence in preparation for the afterlife

They are on holiday with their long-suffering wives in the Canadian wilderness, and Victor has devised a prank which he believes will prove the falseness of Harlan’s philosophy and shake him out of his passionless state — but the prank goes horribly wrong

After a heated argument a shot is fired, and one of the professors lies dead!

But this is far from the end of the story.  In fact, the nightmare is just beginning ...

A highly entertaining, scary tale that will keep audiences laughing, gasping and guessing thoughout
