Publisher's Summary

James Stark, a.k.a. Sandman Slim, crawled out of Hell, took bloody revenge for his girlfriend’s murder, and saved the world along the way. After that, what do you do for an encore? You take a lousy job tracking down monsters for money. It’s a depressing gig, but it pays for your beer and cigarettes. But in L.A., things can always get worse.

Like when Lucifer comes to town to supervise his movie biography and drafts Stark as his bodyguard. Sandman Slim has to swim with the human and inhuman sharks of L.A.’s underground power elite. That’s before the murders start. And before he runs into the Czech porn star who isn’t quite what she seems. Even before all those murdered people start coming back from the dead and join a zombie army that will change our world and Stark’s forever.

Death bites. Life is worse. All things considered, Hell’s not looking so bad.

What the critics say

"Profane, intensely metaphoric language somehow makes self-tortured monster Stark sympathetic and turns a simple story into a powerful noir thriller." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great Story Arc!

Loved every minute of it. There is a lot of character development in this adventure with Sandman Slim particularly on his part. Couldn't put it down!

Not broken up into chapters...

Apparently this whole series isn't broken up into chapters. Best of luck to you if your browser doesn't save your place....Bezos is cheaping out on us. Also don't listen to Captain Dresdin Files down there. Sandman Slim is infinitely better.

Nope.

Listened to the first book which, although I prefer the Dresden Files series, I sort of enjoyed. Although I hesitated to buy the second in the series, I gave Kill the Dead a chance since I was desperate for something to listen to. Sadly, neither the story nor the narrator captured my interest and I didn't finish it. Sandman Slim novels aren't bad, just not to my taste. I much prefer the Dresden Files that are more captivating from plot to the characters.
