"""A thrilling, inventive, pulpy, bi-coastal romp with a bloody beating heart. The roguishly principled and endearing Ford and Neuland can kill for me anytime. I have a list ready.""—Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts ""A perfect, meaty morsel of a story merging traditional pulp with modern mythology and murderous characters that will steal your heart. I read it in go and am devilishly hungry for more.""—Delilah S. Dawson, author of The Violence, Bloom and Star Wars: Phasma ""The Pale House Devil is taut, entertaining, and satisfying. A top-drawer supernatural noir!"" – Lucy A. Snyder, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Sister, Maiden, Monster Praise for Sandman Slim “The best B movie I’ve read in at least twenty years. An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece, Sandman Slim swerves hell-bent through our culture’s impacted gridlock of genres…it’s like watching Sergio Leone and Clive Barker co-direct from a script by Jim Thompson and S. Clay Wilson.” -- 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 “Nicotine and octane in equal parts might come close to the high-energy buzz from Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim. Crisp world building, recognizable and fully-realized characters, and a refreshingly unique storytelling style make for an absorbing read.Sandman Slim is my kind of hero.” -- Kim Harrison “The most hard-boiled piece of supernatural fiction I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. … all confident and energetic and fresh and angry. I loved this book and all its screwed-up people.” -- Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother “Paced like greased lightning (watch out for friction burns on your turning finger), blend the movie-ish delights of tough guy noir and such smart-mouthgore-fests as “Reanimator” and “Army of Darkness”, seasoned by soupcons of Gaimanian romanticism and Koontzian sentiment.” -- Booklist “Sarcastic, irreverent and ridiculously enjoyable riff on the Urban Fantasy genre. … a lot like a mosh pit -- rough, exuberant, unpredictable -- and a heck of a lot of fun.” -- Miami Herald"
