Quotes

Praise for Richard Kadrey and Kill the Dead:

“Kadrey knows how to spin a story, his prose is crisp and effortless, and the entertainment value is high.”


- Charles de Lint, Fantasy & Science Fiction
"Compelling...brilliantly metaphoric...profane mixture of noir atmospherics, black humor, and nonstop action will please Kadrey's many fans."


- Publishers Weekly
“Richard Kadrey’s next Sandman Slim book will be out in OCTOBER, so mark your calendars if you’re as much a fan of these incredibly visionary and savage books as I am....These books are incredibly hard-boiled, and the endings are not H.E.A. But Kadrey’s a fascinating writer and no matter how vicious Sandman Slim gets, we’re rooting for him to win.”
 


- Charlaine Harris
"I've been reading Kadrey since his days as one of the original Mirrorshades-era cyberpunks, and this bad-ass supernatural horror stuff is clearly the material he was born to write. Kadrey has an ungodly (literally) amount of fun with Stark's wryer-than-wry and violenter-than-violent observations and dialog. . And don't let the 'supernatural' label throw you off: Kadrey isn't reboiling the thrice-brewed tea of Stoker or Rami or Crowley in these books. He goes back to the old grimoires and the Ur legends and plunders them for monsters, demons and metaphysics that are so ancient they're fresh."


- Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
".endlessly inventive and high-octane.Kadrey's an excellent writer who's able to juggle all of it without dropping a single pin."


- Locus
"James Stark, antihero of 2009's 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. ... This is that rare sequel that's actually better than the first book (which was plenty great) and manages to take several leaps forward."


- io9.com
If you like your horror stories with a little camp, a little quirkiness and a whole lot of blood and gore then Kill The Dead: A Sandman Slim Novel by Richard Kadrey will be right up your alley.


- Las Vegas Review Journal
"Don't compare Kadrey's prose with Stephenie Meyer's, or even Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Those works are mere fluffy soap operas next to Kadrey's writing. Richard Kadrey's imagination is gritty, sleazy, and macabre.Kill the Dead is the kind of fiction that will always provoke strong reactions. Readers will either love it or hate it. I love it, because Kadrey's prose is deeply engaging, and he makes me feel that my dark side isn't quite so dark, after all."


- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Kadrey has a great talent for taking what might be seen as stock characters by other writers and re-imagining them. He says the secret for him is to take away the characters supernatural elements, and then work out how their personalities fit into the plot.And like the great crime writers before him, the story examines more than the simple whodunit aspect of his stories."


- Minnesota Public Radio
"Think Get Shorty meets Hellraiser."


- San Francisco Chronicle
