I love everything about this world and Caliban and Slate are a great addition.  I’m always a fan of learning about the underworld of a civilization, and the question of “what happens when a demon killer gets possessed” is a fucking fascinating one, I would read an entire prequel about how Caliban wound up in prison for Slate to pick him up.  I would read anything by T. Kingfisher, probably, but the world of the White Rat has rapidly taken a place as one of my favorite fantasy settings.
