Book Description

Release Date: 21 Jun 2012 | Series: Sandman Slim 2

Supernatural fantasy's best antihero returns, in the high-octane follow-up to Richard Kadrey's acclaimed Sandman Slim

James Stark, a.k.a. Sandman Slim, crawled out of Hell, took bloody revenge for his girlfriend's murder, and saved the world along the way. After that, what do you do for an encore? You take a lousy job tracking down monsters for money. It's a depressing gig, but it pays for your beer and cigarettes. But in L.A., things can always get worse.

Like when Lucifer comes to town to supervise his movie biography and drafts Stark as his bodyguard. Sandman Slim has to swim with the human and inhuman sharks of L.A.'s underground power elite. That's before the murders start. And before he runs into the Czech porn star who isn't quite what she seems. Even before all those murdered people start coming back from the dead and join a zombie army that will change our world and Stark's forever.

Death bites. Life is worse. All things considered, Hell's not looking so bad.

Review

“Think Get Shorty meets Hellraiser.” San Francisco Chronicle

“Hilarious … belongs up there with Dresden Files and Felix Castor novels. … some of the best supernatural buddy comedy ever created. … This is that rare sequel that’s actually better than the first book (which was plenty great) and manages to take several leaps forward.” io9.com

“What’s best displayed by Kill the Dead is Kadrey’s snappy prose. From the first lines…you know you’re in for a Chandler-meets-the-undead treat.” Locus

“…endlessly inventive and high-octane…Kadrey’s an excellent writer who’s able to juggle all of it without dropping a single pin.” Locus

“Everything a sequel should be; that is, more. … There’s hardly a moment where you’re not chewing your fingernails to the wrist wondering what happens next. … Kadrey is a hell of a writer, versatile and seasoned, and these pulpy, dark, ultraviolent novels are his best work yet.” Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing

“James Stark, antihero of 2009’s Sandman Slim, returns in this gritty, over-the-top tale of supernatural mayhem…Profane, intensely metaphoric language somehow makes self-tortured monster Stark sympathetic and turns a simple story into a powerful noir thriller.” Publishers Weekly on KILL THE DEAD

5.0 out of 5 stars Sandman's Deadly 11 Sep 2012
By Patrick Duffy VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent follow-up to the first installment of Sandman Slim.

This time Lucifer is in LA and Sandman Slim is roped in to provide some protection. However, there are some other guests in town. Zombies are on the prowl.

Sandman Slim has some additional help in the form of a Czech gypsy porn star, Brigitte Bardo.
With the Zombies suddenly popping up, it comes about that somebody is behind this and Sandman Slim is on the case.

There is a new revelation with Sandman Slim expecially when he comes unstuck with a Zombie. We see a new side to him. Of course, there is still the Vigil and Aelita's on the move.

If you enjoyed the first book then I think you will have a lot of fun with this. Mason hasn't gone away just yet and it is only a matter of time before there is a stand off.
An excellent read.
Hat's off to Mr. Kadrey.
