When you’re born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire.

James Stark is continuing to keep me company while I sort, pack, and move boxes. The contrast between my mundane, everyday tasks and the operatic celestial machinations of Stark’s life keep me moving. This is the third book in the series, so there will be some necessary spoilers. I’ll put the important stuff for non readers here – Aloha from Hell is terrific and you should start reading this series so that you can have the joy of reading this book. I’m listening to the […]

Kill the Dead is the second in the Sandman Slim series. If you like urban fantasy, noir, mysteries, or really well written books you should be reading the Sandman Slim books.

Listening to James Stark (aka Jim, Jimmy, Sandman Slim the monster who kills monsters, or Abomination) drink, smoke, steal cars and serve up shit to people […]

Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey

James Stark returns to LA after 11 years in Hell with a mission of vengeance.  The first thing he does is mug a rich coke head, steal his clothes, taser and wallet.  Stark, known to the denizens of Hell as Sandman Slim, the monster other monsters are afraid of, is a classic anti-hero.  He’s sarcastic, not nice, self destructive and he’s hard to kill.  Sandman Slim is sarcastic, not nice, manic, and darkly funny.  My first encounter with Sandman Slim was hearing an audio clip […]
