Bored to Death: A Noir-otic Story by Jonathan Ames
4.0
More or less matches the plot of the pilot episode of the TV show with a few details about the narrator changed, but takes a wildly different direction once he gets to the hotel room...
Upon finishing the short story I had this strange sense of deja vu -- and not just because I've recently been binging on the TV show. Dug through my bookshelf and found issue 24 of McSweeney's Quarterly Concern that I originally read "Bored to Death" in back in 2007. I remember enjoying it then too.
