Description

The fourth eagerly awaited Sandman Slim novel from Richard Kadrey
While ruling the denizens of darkness does have a few perks, James Stark isnt exactly thrilled at the course his career (not to mention his soul) has taken. Breaking out of Hell once was a miraculous trick. But twice If anyone can do it, its Sandman Slim. While hes working out the details of his latest escape plan, Slim has to figure out how to run his new domain and hold off a host of trigger-happy killers mesmerised by that bullseye on his back.

Everyone in Heaven, Hell, and in between wants to be the fastest gun in the universe, and the best way to prove it is to take down the new Lucifer, aka Sandman Slim aka James Stark. Then again, LA isnt quite the paradise it once was since he headed south. A serial killer ghost is running wild and his angelic alter-ago is hiding somewhere in the lost days of time with a secret cabal who can rewrite reality. And starting to care about people and life again is a real bitch for a stone-cold killer.

A violent and atmospheric tale full of edgy fun and packed with angels and demons, monsters and madmen, Devil Said Bang is another thrilling hit of kick-ass fun from the diabolically talented Richard Kadrey.

Reviews

Praise for Sandman Slim:

The perfect escapist storyline side-splittingly funny. gruesome slapstick mixed with down-and-dirty Hammett-esque mayhem and double-dealing. If youve been hoping someone would bring the full-strength SoCal toxic waste to the urban fantasy game, then Sandman Slim is your poison. io9.com

The best B movie Ive read in at least twenty years. An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece, Sandman Slim swerves hell-bent through our cultures impacted gridlock of genresits like watching Sergio Leone and Clive Barker co-direct from a script by Jim Thompson and S. Clay Wilson. William Gibson on Sandman Slim

Nicotine and octane in equal parts might come close to the high-energy buzz from Richard Kadreys 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 on Sandman Slim
