A gripping, snappy creature feature from the master of horror noir about two detectives--one dead, one living--hired by an embittered old landowner to banish a bloody cosmic monster from his ancestral home, perfect for fans of Cassandra Khaw, Charles Stross, and Lucy A. Snyder.

Ford and Neuland are paranormal mercenaries--one living, one undead; one of them kills the undead, the other kills the living. When a job goes bad in New York, they head west to wait for the heat to cool down.

There, a young woman named Tilda Rosenbloom hires them on behalf of wealthy landowner Shepherd Mansfield to track and kill a demon haunting a mansion in remote northern California.

As Ford and Neuland investigate the creature they uncover a legacy of blood, sacrifice and slavery in the house. Forced to confront a powerful creature unlike anything they've faced before, they come to learn that the most frightening monster might not be the one they're hunting . . .

Contains mature themes.

This is the book equivalent of a fun TV show episode about monsters. It feels very much like a pilot of a show that I want more of. Easy listening.

Great novella overall, the characters are fun, the story was pretty great, and while I know this doesn't take place in Slim's universe, it could fit right in honestly. Worth the time listening to it, hope to hear more about our rag tag team of hitmen.

This wasn’t one of Kadrey’s better stories, but it was short enough to be interesting. The narrator was alright, but there were times I had difficulty distinguishing which character was speaking. Overall, it’s fun & I did enjoy it.

Not too bad at all for a short story, I love all things Kadrey but there were a few lines that were cornier than what he usually seems to write. That was literally the only thing that kept it from getting 5 stars from me.

Good but not great!

An excellent concept that deserves another shot. The protagonists were great but it was too much buddy cop.

Great Story Idea

The story was just flat for me. I feel like it could have been really good because it was a fresh concept but it just never picked up. The characters were not interesting and no real suspense.

Mehhh
