Review: Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey

Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey Published by Harper Voyager on September 2nd 2014 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction Pages: 416 Format: E-Book Source: Own Copy Buy on Amazon Goodreads “An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece.”—William Gibson “A sharp-edged urban fantasy, drenched in blood and cynicism, tipping its hat to Sam Peckinpah, Raymond Chandler, and the anti-heroes of Hong Kong cinema….A bravura performance.”—San Francisco Chronicle “I couldn’t put it down.”—Charlaine Harris Sandman Slim has arrived—a wild and weird, edge-of-your-seat supernatural roller-coaster rider that propels author Richard Kadrey to the forefront of the fantasy, thriller, and a host of other literary genres.

Stark is throw into the cosmic battleground, where there appears to be no good guys (the Angels do not come across as particularly angelic). The book is written in […]
