Sandman Slim is back from Hell. After wreaking unholy havoc in author Richard Kadrey’s resoundingly acclaimed Sandman Slim, the demon-slaying anti-hero and half-angel fugitive from the underworld returns in a brutally funny, eye-poppingly inventive, and totally addicting follow-up, Kill the Dead. If you’re a fan of Buffy and Jim Butcher, Christopher Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Warren Ellis, or you dig the dark urban fantasy vibe of Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, and Simon Green, you’ll cheer Lucifer’s onetime personal assassin as he signs on as his ex-boss’ Hollywood bodyguard…and takes on the zombie apocalypse almost single-handedly. - from Amazon.com
This is the second novel in the Sandman Slim series by Kadrey. This time around, James Stark aka Sandman Slim has his hands full as playing bodyguard to Lucifer while stopping a city-wide walking dead attack from one of the magic families in the LA area. Plenty of gritty action and blood-letting, plus some added insight on Stark's heritage, plus the added intrigue on his personal vendetta against Mason, the man who was behind sending him to Hell in the first place. Throw in a little side romance, some cursing, a few angels, demons and who knows what, into one big fight, and Sandman Slim settles it out - until the next time. Looking forward to the novel on the list from this series.
