Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A man named Travis summons up a demon when he's 19 and is unable to send it back to where it came from. As a consequence he hasn't aged a day since 1919. Catch, the demon, can't be banished because Travis lost the incantations and Travis has to deal with all the problems that demonkeeping entails. In the present day, a Djinn is trying to get ahold of Catch, which causes even more problems on top of Travis' current ones.The first published novel written by Comic Literature writer Christopher Moore

comment
Asshole Victim: Catch can't always be stopped from eating people, so Travis naturally tries to get him to eat pimps and drug dealers rather than, say, babies and sweet old ladies.

And I Must Scream

comment
And I Must Scream: Catch is punished by being chained to a rock and having an eagle fly down and eat his liver every day. Brine lampshades the fact that it sounds a lot like Prometheus's punishment. Gian Hen Gian Hand Waves this by saying that the "Greeks were thieves, no better than Solomon".

The Alleged Car: Travis' Impala. A large part of the car's utter shittiness is due to Travis himself. He literally drives it into a ditch just to annoy Catch.
