An interesting short story here about two serial killers. Was a good Halloween read, prose reads easily, and was enjoyable throughout. I suppose main flaw is was not too sure about the end, hence 4stars not 5. Will not spoil it. For you to make up mind on it. If u like a creepy read, pick this up for a nice short on your kindle. Worth it over all.
Short sharp and to the point. For lovers of creepy slasher books this is a short must. Spooky though, you won't get me getting a lift off a truck driver in America!
Junger Serienkiller trifft Meister Serienkiller. Leute sterben, Dinge werden seltsam. Kadreys Charaktere sind wie immer die üblichen Punks: antiautoritär und mit einer arg verschobenen Moral. Mein einziges Problem mit dieser Geschichte ist, dass sie doch arg kurz ist für drei Euro. Ich will mehr über die Welt wissen in der diese Geschichte spielt, ich will wissen was der Twist am Schluss bedeutet, wenn es denn ein Twist war. Wer also drei Euro ausgeben will für eine nette aber kurze Geschichte und die ersten paar Seiten von Kadreys neuestem Sandman Slim Roman sollte hier zuschlagen.
I'm rather a fan of Kadrey's Sandman Slim, and this story had some things in common with those books. Plenty of violence, plenty of opportunities to arch an eyebrow and say, "Eeesh," and plenty of mythological/ theological references. It lacks the meaty-ness of Sandman Slim, possibly because it's a short story and doesn't have room for much development. I left it feeling like it was the beginnings of a good idea that had been padded out with some stilted blood-n-guts filler...kind of like the beginnings of a good stew that the cook can't figure out what to do with, so they throw in a bunch of potatoes and too much salt. Comes off as promising, but in the end a bit too bland and off-flavor. Maybe someday Kadrey will develop this character and his mythos more - I'd like to see that. For now, it's a slightly-above-average cross country slasher story.
A departure - but not so much - for Kadrey, "Suspect Zero" will appeal to his legions of Sandman Slim fans who just can't get enough of the damned and the bewildered who cling to them. It's like all of Kadrey's friends come from some kind of underworld slum, and he can't get away from them even by changing his address.
"Suspect Zero" is a short story with all of Kadrey's trademark violent hoodoo, but which stands outside the Sandman Slim universe. Don't worry - this universe has a Hell in it, and the characters in this story know it well. A young punk looking to make his name seeks out the baddest of the bad - and discovers he has no idea what he's in for. But the bad have a heart on them, too, and, if the kid can't escape his destiny, they can ease the road for him, just a little.
