I\\u2019m joined in this episode by\\xa0Richard Kadrey, author of the long-running urban fantasy series,\\xa0SANDMAN SLIM.

These novels follow the paranormal misadventures of James Stark, a hard-to-kill, half-human magician who spent 11 years stuck in Hell as an arena gladiator and pet hitman for his demon masters. After carving a bloody path back to earth, Stark re-emerges in Los Angeles, hellbent on killing the circle of humans who sent him to suffer Downtown.

But to live and avenge in LA requires grit, gear, and allies, plus the occasional occult odd-job to keep you in kevlar. When your companions are carnivorous spider people, fallen angels and disembodied talking heads, and your enemies are kill-happy sorcerers, undead legions and Hellion lords\\u2026.well, you\\u2019re gonna need a grim sense of humor, a fistful of supernatural powers, and an eagerness to get way down and very dirty.

For better\\u2014or probably worse\\u2014Stark has a triple helping of all that, which is how he earned his nickname\\u2014Sandman Slim, the monster who kills monsters.

The ten previous high-octane novels in the SANDMAN SLIM series are available now, and the eleventh\\u2014BALLISTIC KISS\\u2014is also out now from Harper Voyager.\\xa0
