![]() ![]() Like Parker, James Stark is coming back for revenge on a group of former partners who assumed he was dead unlike Parker, Stark has spent the last decade in Hell, where he’s been battling monsters and assassinating demons, and it’s made him even more dangerous than he was before – and that’s saying something. A glorious mix of urban fantasy, horror, and noir, Sandman Slim is a revenge tale that feels pretty indebted to Donald Westlake’s The Hunter (which became the great Point Blank), down to the choice of Stark as surname for its protagonist. Serving as the perfection transition from a month of horror to a month of noir, Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim is one of those wonderful genre blends that manages to find something more than the sum of its parts in its blending. ![]()
