Killing Pretty is a pretty good addition to the Sandman Slim series and a nice reboot for the series. Well, not really improved for Stark: he's still broke, he's still getting his ass handed to him and he's still in trouble with the Law, but he's trying, that counts for something right? The Getaway God concluded the previous story arc for Stark and now in Killing Pretty we get to see how the Sandman tries to rebuild his life without Hell, Heaven, Old Gods and revenge hanging over his head. Welcome to the new and improved world of James Stark, aka Sandman Slim.
Cobbled together with having to get a real job and slowly integrating Candy's new face into his world, sometimes being dead will just kill you. Stark and friends dig into a seedy LA world of Ghost trafficking, vampires and the re-emergence of an Occult Nazi sect. Survivor, outcast and victor of more than a few battles between Heaven and Hell Stark is the one man Death knows can help him restore the natural order, allowing people to begin dying once more and work out who took his heart in the first place. Who do you call when you just want to sleep that final sleep and make the world right once more, the Sandman. Well in this case no heart at all, as someone has just stolen it. However, he usually doesn’t come hand on heart, trapped in undying flesh, asking for your assistance. and what Stark discovers will change Heaven, Earth, and Stark himself forever.Death comes for us all, young, old and everything in between.
But there’s more to the king and his plans for L.A. What king wants seems simple on it face: Chaos. He seemingly came from nowhere with nothing but a taste for mayhem and an army of crazed killers who follow his every command.
But what’s even more frightening is the Shoggot gang and their leader, King Bullet, who revels in the city’s collapse. is gripped by a viral epidemic that has everyone wearing masks and keeping their distance from each other. And the world…well, the world is going to shit. It’s been three months since Stark stopped a death cult and a potential ghost apocalypse, and he’s at loose ends. The incredible finale of the page-turning, high-octane Sandman Slim series filled with an explosive ending and intense kick-ass action from New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey.
