Overview

"Sandman Slim is my kind of hero."
-Kim Harrison

"Richard Kadrey is a genius."
-Holly Black

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.


Editorial Reviews

Stark spent eleven years in hell and he doesn't want to go back, but sometimes he has to admit that resurrection sucks. His job as Lucifer's bodyguard puts him in the path of zombies and other rogue monsters. Recently, however, it has also placed him in proximity to Brigitte Bardo, a French porno film star now aspiring to thrust her curvaceous body into more artistic pursuits. With his libido working overtime, Stark must remind himself to keep his mind on dangerous business. A sizzling series. Now in mass market paperback and NOOK Book.

Publishers Weekly

James Stark, antihero of 2009's Sandman Slim, returns in this gritty, over-the-top tale of supernatural mayhem. Having taken his revenge on the rival magician who got him sent to Hell, Stark settles in sorcery-infested Los Angeles and gets a part-time gig with the Golden Vigil, an angelic hit squad of dubious morality that's somehow allied with Homeland Security. He spends the rest of his time as a freelance slayer of monsters. When Lucifer comes to Earth, supposedly to oversee a Hollywood biopic of his life, he hires Stark to be his bodyguard, but something isn't quite right and soon the city is awash in murderous zombies. Stark has to get to the bottom of the mystery or risk being sent back to Hell, along with everyone he cares about. Profane, intensely metaphoric language somehow makes self-tortured monster Stark sympathetic and turns a simple story into a powerful noir thriller. (Oct.)
