“The best B movie I’ve read in at least twenty years. An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece, Sandman Slim swerves hell-bent through our culture’s impacted gridlock of genres…it’s like watching Sergio Leone and Clive Barker co-direct from a script by Jim Thompson and S. Clay Wilson.”

Sandman Slim Book Covers

Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim Series is a lot of fun. If your idea of fun is a half-human/half-angel magician who returns from Hell to exact revenge on the people who sent him there, that is. We tore through these books when they arrived at the studio, angels, hellions, Lucifer, video stores, dive bars, bikes...what’s not to like?

When HarperCollins (US) originally commissioned Crush to produce a series of covers for these books, my esteemed friend Thomas Lacey did a fine job, with some direction from myself. Drawing on the pulp nature of the books and the sheer amount of horror, comic book references in the books themselves it seemed fitting that they should be portrayed as b-movie posters. Not the subtlest of ideas, but then not the subtlest of books.

I took over and produced the last two in the series, throwing as much trash, blood and references at them as I thought I could get away with.
