Review:
"Everything a sequel should be; that is, more. ... There's hardly a moment where you're not chewing your fingernails to the wrist wondering what happens next. ... Kadrey is a hell of a writer, versatile and seasoned, and these pulpy, dark, ultraviolent novels are his best work yet."--Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"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
"What's best displayed by Kill the Dead is Kadrey's snappy prose. From the first lines...you know you're in for a Chandler-meets-the-undead treat."--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 on KILL THE DEAD
"Think Get Shorty meets Hellraiser."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Powerful, entertaining and exotically profane."--San Diego Free Press
"...endlessly inventive and high-octane...Kadrey's an excellent writer who's able to juggle all of it without dropping a single pin."--Locus
