This is one of the authors I decided to check out after reading his story in Body Shocks. I don’t recall which story he wrote, but I liked it and wrote his name down. I’m glad I did, because I enjoyed Sandman Slim quite a lot.

I’m a fan of hard-boiled magicians, and while I new I’d never read Sandman Slim before, much of the novel felt familiar. It was a beloved old story told by a new (to me) voice - well-written comfort food.

If you’re a fan of The Dresden Files, this’ll be right up your alley. Just be aware that while I’d rate Dresden a PG, Slim gets an R.
