I’ve been quiet around these parts lately… I am sure you are wondering why. The truth is, picking up a book has been painful… nothing seems to grab my attention. I don’t know if the craptastic Bullet is to blame or if I am just in a slump, but I think it is time for me to take a break from paranormal romance.

So… I am introducing Turn Me On Tuesday… a day where I try to find new books and authors I haven’t heard of before but want to start reading. I am hoping I can turn you on to something new… get it? hah. If you have someone you think I would like, please contact me and let me know! I am especially interested in male UF writers or male UF points of view.

Anyway, today’s Turn Me On Tuesday book is….

Title: Sandman Slim
Author Richard Kadrey
Genre: Urban Fantasy

Publication Date: 1st Aug. 2009

Summary:
Supernatural fantasy has a new antihero

Life sucks, and then you die. Or, if you’re James Stark, you spend eleven years in Hell as a hitman before finally escaping, only to land back in the hell-on-earth that is Los Angeles.

Now Stark’s back, and ready for revenge. And absolution, and maybe even love. But when his first stop saddles him with an abusive talking head, Stark discovers that the road to absolution and revenge is much longer than you’d expect, and both Heaven and Hell have their own ideas for his future.

Resurrection sucks. Saving the world is worse.

Darkly twisted, irreverent, and completely hilarious, Sandman Slim is the breakthrough novel by an acclaimed author

I just started this one this morning and already love it. Great opening paragraph/quote and it has already used the phrase “asshole of creation”. Fingers crossed it continues to rock.

Oh and as a side note… I am over at MamaKitty‘s book blog talking about why I love to read today, stop by and say something!
