“An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece.”—William Gibson“A sharp-edged urban fantasy, drenched in blood and cynicism, tipping its hat to Sam Peckinpah, Raymond Chandler, and the anti-heroes of Hong Kong cinema….A bravura performance.”—San Francisco Chronicle“I couldn’t put it down.”—Charlaine HarrisSandman Slim has arrived—a wild and weird, edge-of-your-seat supernatural roller-coaster rider that propels author Richard Kadrey to the forefront of the fantasy, thriller, and a host of other literary genres. This spellbinding, utterly remarkable tale of a vengeful magician/hitman’s return from hell is part H.P. Lovecraft, part Christopher Moore, part Jim Butcher, and totally, unabashedly dark, twisted, and hilarious.

"What can I say about the Sandman Slim series. They’re dirty, they’re a bit crass, and they’re utterly addicting. Kadrey made an unlovable main character enjoyable and relatable, action packed sequences, while also going through every day life. "

"This is a great book if you enjoy antiheroes with a focus on Christian mythology and its adaptation in a world full of nihilist."

"the first in the series is my favorite! unapologetically filthy, frequently hilarious and a killer cast of characters! for a different vibe that's a little more film noir but still as creative, i recommend Gun, With Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem :)"

"I love The way Richard Kadrey writes and how he creates a story I’m not going to sit here and try to use words like “technically written” like some folks who think they are in his living room# when kadrey writes like they are privy to all his thoughts and feeling all I know is his books make you want to throw on biker leathers and kick someone’s A#% very cathartic great read :)"
