Harper Voyager Trade Paperback
“James Stark, antihero of Sandman Slim, returns in this gritty, over-the-top tale of supernatural mayhem. . . . Profane, intensely metaphoric language somehow makes self-tortured monster Stark sympathetic and turns a simple story into a powerful noir thriller.”—Publishers Weekly
“Hilarious … belongs up there with Dresden Files and Felix Castor novels. . . . Some of the best supernatural buddy comedy ever created. It’s all a whirl of craziness and pop-culture insanity, and you can pretty much inhale it like candy-scented freon. ..And this is that rare sequel that’s actually better than the first book (which was plenty great) and manages to take several leaps forward in ways that make the main character seem a lot more fascinating than the first time around.”—io9.com

Quotes
He's not back to rock the boat. If he's not left alone, he may very well sink it. He's got a nice collection of weapons, a number of favors to call in, and he's back on his home turf. If you're going to tackle reading Devil Said Bang, be prepared - this is not the Sandman Slim from Book 1. This Sandman Slim is now figuring out exactly who his enemies are and, rather than circling the wagons and developing a strategy, he's just going to deal with them the hard way. And Kadrey's version of the hard way is way more entertaining than a hero with a plan"
"Kadrey knows how to spin a story, his prose is crisp and effortless, and the entertainment value is high."
