Butchers Bird
Wow, what a novel -- supremely rich of imagination. Kadrey is often compared to the likes of Neil Gaiman, but more of a blue color version of him. Kadrey tackles topics with more grit and dirt than does Gaiman, infusing his writings with Judeo Christian legends while Gaimen's writings are more influenced by Celtic, Scandinavian, and Native American mythology.This book basically is one LSD trip through an afterlife populated by monsters, angels, and demons. It's a strange and twisted world that the hero of the tale gets caught up in. And it's one hell of a motorcycle ride though hell.
