Eos Books - The Next Chapter

SANDMAN SLIM is an August Indie Next pick!

Some very nice news this Friday--Richard Kadrey's upcoming SANDMAN SLIM is an August Indie Next pick: 

"How a book this dark can be this much fun to read is just one of many amazing things about Sandman Slim. ... Omens meets Raymond Chandler!" --Carol Schneck, Schuler Books & Music, Okemos, MI

Other praise for SANDMAN SLIM:

“If Simon R. Green wrote an episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter, it would read much like SANDMAN SLIM – violent, vivid, non-stop action of the supernatural kind. I couldn’t put it down.”  -- Charlaine Harris

"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

"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. ... I loved this book and all its screwed-up people."  -- Cory Doctorow

CITY OF SOULS out today!

CITY OF SOULS by New York Times bestselling author Vicki Pettersson is out today!

In Sin City, a little girl suffers from a strange and terrible malady. If she dies, the Light will die along with her.

Warrior, avenger, Joanna Archer has survived countless otherworldly terrors—and has found her rightful place among the agents battling the all-pervasive evil of Shadow . . . even as she struggles against the darkness within herself.

A war is raging for Las Vegas—a city without a heart—one that catapults Joanna into a new world hidden from mortal sight. In this lethally seductive alternate dimension the lines blur between good and evil, love and hate, and here lies the last hope for the Light. But Joanna's price of admission is a piece of her own soul—and the odds of her escaping are slim . . . to none.

Also, Vicki will be doing a live podcast with Authors On Air at 2 PM (EST) Thursday, July 2nd, when she'll be interviewed by Kim Harrison.

What the Devil Taught Me by Richard Kadrey

Richard Kadrey, the author of SANDMAN SLIM, has written a great essay about his relationship with the Devil. It's a must read, as is his fantastic book. On sale July 21st!

Supernatural fantasy has a new antihero.

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.
