While acting as a bodyguard for Lucifer and wooing a former French porn star, half-human fallen angel Stark is bitten by one of the many zombies roaming the countryside. This causes his human side to die and turns him into an emotionless killing machine. The condition has a cure-- should he choose to take it.

Review of 'Kill the Dead' on 'Goodreads'

Kill the Dead, Richard Kadrey's sequel to Sandman Slim, is enjoyably wacky. The plot was a bit confusing at spots, but the characters are engaging and I appreciated the humor. This novel is so far out of my usual genre that I consider it a conundrum to rate; I don't always read novels that end with a zombie apocalypse, but when I do, I like those stories to be populated with some people I can care about, and I find that I am hooked on the adventures of James Stark, AKA Sandman Slim. And, by the way, Kill the Dead is better than the first book book of this series, which is intriguing, as well.
