Advance Readers Wanted - SANDMAN SLIM

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

THIRD CLAW OF GOD

  Here's a great review for Adam-Troy Castro's THE THIRD CLAW OF GOD (the 2nd Andrea Cort novel)

"The plot itself, is excellent. It's a combination of science fiction and mystery, very true to both genres with lots of world building, specialized, futuristic tech, and suspense that keeps a reader wondering who the antagonists really are until the final ten pages of the book."

Full review is here.   And you can read some of the novel here.
