Devil in the Dollhouse by Richard Kadrey
5.0
I originally rated this story 4.5 stars. Shame on nefarious little me and stuff.
Bloody shrimping hell, I'm so glad I ditched Taste of Marrowof the Emotional Saps to read this. Best Decision Ever (BDE™).
Why?
✔ Because this world. Dark + gritty + violent + full of evil bastards = just beautiful.
✔ Because this writing. Because those dialogues. Straight to the gut + hilarious + sarcastic + irreverent = simply marvelous.
✔ Because this plot. Fast paced + tons of gory action + wondrous twists + Hell (aka the Kingdom of assholes) setting = utterly stupendous.
✔ Because enchanting cast of secondary characters. Scumbags + treacherous bastards + delightfully reluctantchattel associates = absolutely glorious.
✔ Because MY boyfriend Jimmy Stark. Dat voice + magnificently screwed up + blade-wielding badass +no little morals + total disrespect for everything and everyone + new malevolent responsibilities = yummy in my tummy. If the guy keeps this up, he's going to outrank all the other slaves guests in the high security wing of my High Security Harem. So watch the fish out, Daniel Faust & friends, for Sandman Slim is out to get you!
» And the moral of this You Can Measure an Author's Talent by the Quality of His/Her Short Stories Crappy Non Review (YCMaATbtQoH/HSSCNR™) is: you can measure an author's talent by the quality of his/her short stories. You are quite welcome.
P.S. This series? It's a teensy little bitorgasmic shrimptastic. Just so you know.
I have the sexiest underwear ever, I know.
