Publisher Description

Life sucks, and then you die. Or, if you’re James Stark, you spend eleven years in Hell as a hitman before finally escaping, only to land back in the hell-on-earth that is Los Angeles. Now Stark’s back, and ready for revenge. And absolution, and maybe even love. But when his first stop saddles him with an abusive talking head, Stark discovers that the road to absolution and revenge is much longer than you’d expect, and both Heaven and Hell have their own ideas for his future. Resurrection sucks. Saving the world is worse. Darkly twisted, irreverent, and completely hilarious, Sandman Slim is the breakthrough novel by an acclaimed author.

"I just finished reading this series and I enjoyed it greatly. The first book is very caught up in its cultural trappings, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I spend a big chunk of the '90s reading Re/Search books, listening to the cramps, and watching bad movies, so this book kind of took me back to some of that. Beyond all that, it's a great hard-boiled supernatural thriller. The later books of the series get even better."

    " Sarcasm, Hell, a reluctant hero and magick that makes sense (at least in the context of L.A. as an entity). Did I mention the snark? I live for good snark. "

    " Not one of my favorites. I liked the premise, but the cliche Sam Spade one liners were just too much to stand. After a few chapters, the dialog becomes quite annoying. I finished the book just to see what happened, but I won't read the next ones in the series. "

    " As a fan of the tv series Supernatural this was right up my alley. A gritty and angry magician returns from hell to seek revenge. Good stuff. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Now this is a fun read with a lot of potential for a GREAT long term series. Stark has enough depth to turn into a great character to watch and the supporting cast lends itself to a lot of different possible side stories. "

    " Although Kadrey loads this novel with a series of in-your-face lines, the novel barely kept my attention and did not send me recommending it to anyone. "

    " Absolutely loved it! I read books for enjoyment and this one definitely fit the bill. I look forward to checking out the subsequent members of the series.I can't help wondering if Richard Kadrey is a pen name for Jim Butcher. "

    " interesting take on the fight between heavan and hell. the story is slow to get started, but picks up after the first third. The characters grew on you, but were still missing something to keep you engaged. Fun, but not great. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " The whole "urban fantasy" thing has become almost obnoxiously trendy of late but I have to admit this one is pretty entertaining, thanks to Kadrey's combination of hard-boiled prose and snarky black humor. "
