We've got ten Advance Reader copies of the manuscript for Richard Kadrey’s SANDMAN SLIM, a wild and weird, edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller about a magician/hitman returned from hell. We love it, but why take our word for it? This is what William Gibson and Kim Harrison had to say: “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, sideswiping so many, so brilliantly, so constantly, that it’s like watching Sergio Leone and Clive Barker co-direct from a script by Jim Thompson and S. Clay Wilson: an LA noir spaghetti western grudge-war apocalypse, fought with magic, shotguns, occult artifacts, and (at one point) the broken wooden handle of a toilet plunger. Sweet.” — 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
Very cool. I actually put a post up about this very book recently.
