Kill the Dead, Richard Kadrey's sequel to Sandman Slim, is enjoyably wacky. The plot was a bit confusing at spots, but the characters are engaging and I appreciated the humor. This novel is so far out of my usual genre that I consider it a conundrum to rate; I don't always read novels that end with a zombie apocalypse, but when I do, I like those stories to be populated with some people I can care about, and I find that I am hooked on the adventures of James Stark, AKA Sandman Slim. And, by the way, Kill the Dead is better than the first book book of this series, which is intriguing, as well.
