It boasted all the requisites of an urban fantasy: Magic, demons, vampires and a half-human/half-angel protagonist. But Sandman Slim instantly gripped me in a way no other urban fantasy had. Granted, Kadrey wasn't the first to do this Jim Butcher's massively popular Dresden Files series helped pave the way a few years earlier. It was urban fantasy mixed with hard-boiled detective fiction. Unlike Metrophage, though, Sandman Slim wasn't cyberpunk. Turns out Kadrey wrote Metrophage - a book I'd heard about but never actually got around to reading - back in the '80s, during the golden age of cyberpunk. Six years ago I picked up a book called Sandman Slim by an author, Richard Kadrey, whose name was only vaguely familiar to me.
