Sandman Slim investigates Death's death in this hip, propulsive urban fantasy through a phantasmagoric LA rife with murder, mayhem, and magic.
James Stark has met his share of demons and angels, on Earth and beyond. Now he's come face to face with the one entity few care to meet: Death.
Someone has tried to kill Death - ripping the heart right out of him - or rather the body he's inhabiting. Death needs Sandman Slim's help: He believes anyone who can beat Lucifer and the old gods at their own game is the only one who can solve his murder.
Stark follows a sordid trail deep into LA's subterranean world, from vampire-infested nightclubs to talent agencies specializing in mad ghosts, from Weimar Republic mystical societies to sleazy supernatural underground fight and sex clubs. Along the way he meets a mysterious girl - distinguished by a pair of graveyard eyes - as badass as Slim: She happens to be the only person who ever outwitted Death. But escaping her demise has had dire consequences for the rest of the world... and a few others.
For years Slim has been fighting cosmic forces bent on destroying heaven, hell, and Earth. This time the battle is right here on the gritty streets of the City of Angels, where a very clever, very ballsy killer lies in wait.

Would you listen to Killing Pretty again? Why?
Yes. I'm planning to. Kadrey is a complex writer. It's hard to pick up everything in one reading. I love that he is unique, complicated, that his characters don't do the expected and that Kadrey is willing to take chances with his storylines.Who was your favorite character and why?
Sandman Slim is one of the all-time great character, but the varieties of angels, fallen angels, not to mention god-not-so-almighty are all great. Still, Slim wins if I have to pick one. He is so complex and he keeps growing and changing. And saving the world, though I think he isn't sure why he bothers.What about MacLeod Andrews’s performance did you like?
MacLeod Andrews is a great narrator. There wasn't anything I didn't like.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I did, pretty much.Any additional comments?
GREAT book. But it helped that I'd already read the previous books in the series. I don't think anyone should start with this one.THE BEST SANDMAN SLIM STORY SINCE THE FIRST

This turned out to be one of my favorite books in the Sandman Slim series. It's on a little smaller scale than the last couple but Slim in in great form and all our favorite characters are back to get in his way. Sets up the LA mystical universe for more adventures and can't wait to hear them. Bring them on Mr. Kadrey. Oh yeah, MacLeod Andrews brings the whole thing to life as only an artist like he can. Great narration!Richar Kadrey Back in Great Form

What made the experience of listening to Killing Pretty the most enjoyable?
The Dialogue and MacLeod Andrews as always awesome performance.Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrews’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
MacLeod Andrews is one of the few narrators I know by name. He always gives a award worthy performance and this time is no different.He has preformed all of the previous Sandman Slim Novals and as always he makes the book feel so much more alive.
Any additional comments?
First I want to say thank you Mr. Kadrey, you could have ended a series with the previous book but you choose to continue an awesome series.This book is while REALLY awesome has it's weak points. First this is the first book after the Angra Om Ya arc. and there are times when it shows. The lack of some bigger picture is a little surreal having spent the previous six book with greater threat looming over head.
HOWEVER this is a GREAT jumping on point for new readers while returning readers will still enjoy awesome dialogue.
I still love this series and I look foreword to next installment
