About this ebook

“Sandman Slim is my kind of hero.”
—Kim Harrison

“Richard Kadrey is a genius.”
—Holly Black

Sandman Slim is back from Hell. After wreaking unholy havoc in author Richard Kadrey’s resoundingly acclaimed Sandman Slim, the demon-slaying anti-hero and half-angel fugitive from the underworld returns in a brutally funny, eye-poppingly inventive, and totally addicting follow-up, Kill the Dead. If you’re a fan of Buffy and Jim Butcher, Christopher Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Warren Ellis, or you dig the dark urban fantasy vibe of Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, and Simon Green, you’ll cheer Lucifer’s onetime personal assassin as he signs on as his ex-boss’ Hollywood bodyguard…and takes on the zombie apocalypse almost single-handedly.

Really fun follow up to Sandman Slim. I love that the character has a ridiculous amount of rough edges surrounding a mushy core of good - primarily motivated by saving the people he cares about. After all the years he spent in hell it just makes sense that he isn't quite the decent and productive member of society he once was. And having read subsequent books in the series, I can say his evolution seems very realistic - ie: he never becomes the paragon of virtue some writers might force him to be after a few books. He's always a force for chaos. And that's just good pulpy fun.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

Really hooked me and dragged me around like a fish on a hook. It was all I expected of a sequel and twisted a few wonderful ways. Fully recommend!
