Sandman Slim is the man Mike Hammer wishes he could be. Slim is so hard-boiled he's practically stone at this point, and the baddest shut-your-mouth since Shaft graced the screen. "Aloha From Hell" is the book you go to when you want a non-stop ride of snappy dialogue, gruesome characters, and L.A. the way we always knew it was deep down. Fresh from saving the Earth from High Plains Drifters (that's zombies to you uninitiated folks - and if you ARE uninitiated, go pick up the first book in this series pronto), Slim's got to mosey his way down to Hell and stop an old enemy from wreaking havoc on everything the Sandman has ever cared about. I gotta tell you, I'm in mad love with the way Richard Kadrey writes. Every time you expect a hoary old genre cliche to come rampaging across the landscape, he turns it on its head and kicks it out the window. I've read all the Sandman Slim books at warp speed, because once you get into the story (and make no mistake, you WILL be sucked in) there's no coming out. Set aside some solo reading time, and enjoy your time in Hell. --Sarah L. |
