"Kadrey is writing a new Sandman Slim novel every year, and it's not like he's short of material: his winning formula of mixing deadpan, hilarious hard-boiled swearing and zero-fucks-given attitude with painstakingly researched apocrypha, daemonology and magick could yield up dividends forever." - Boing Boing "If you like your urban fantasy gory, with strong action, really great characters, and an overall plot, I'd definitely go try Sandman Slim." - Steemit "Hollywood Dead reads like a grindhouse film on the page, and delivers exactly what the movie-poster themed book cover promises [.] Kadrey's prose is fast, fun, and makes the novel's pulpy concept shine." - ZYZZYVA "Author Richard Kadrey has the unique ability to make magic, gods, and the supernatural real. The dark, gritty L.A. vibe is genuine; the prose and sarcastic humor are real life-speak.

He's the master of his craft!" - Suspense Magazine "[The] ability to mix hightest violence and weirdness with tenderness and compassion is where Kadrey shines, and it's why the series is not only worth reading, but rereading." - Charles de Lint for Fantasy & Science Fiction "The surliest hero in literature, a load of killer one-liners, and enough grotesque entertaining description to satisfy thriller fans and gore fans alike." - San Francisco Book Review "Kadrey's prose is raw and gutter-tough, Raymond Chandler meets Lux Interior at the Whisky a Go Go at the end of days." - Austin Chronicle Praise for the Sand Man Slim series: "Six years after stumbling into Sandman Slim's seedy, seamy world, I'm still hungry to go back every time. To get lost in it. I have yet to be disappointed. But if this is escapism, it's the most masochistic kind I can imagine. Stark, I think, would appreciate that.

" - NPR Books "[A] terrifically over-the-top [.] magical slugfest. [.] The nonstop action and dark humor will thrill urban fantasy fans, including those new to the series." - Publishers Weekly.
