That Which Luke is Reading
So, I am currently working my way through the Sandman Slim novels by Richard Kadrey. The novels all take place in and around the dark corners of LA, corners filled with magic, demons, angels, and all sorts of fantastic creatures and their ilk. A dark, brooding sense of humor fills the stories, and the main character is the latest in a long line of good hearted bastards you can’t help but love. (e.g. John Constantine, etc.)
This one takes place mostly in hell and is a bit more caught up in infernal politics than the others, but Kadrey has managed to keep the stories interesting and change the scale and the stakes in such a way where the concept and characters have yet to become a drag.
Highly enjoyable, recommended.
