It’s another\u00a0pimp something you love<\/em> post.<\/p>\n

Let’s keep it to books, this time.<\/p>\n

Tell us about a book — preferably one you’ve read recently or that’s coming out recently — that you dig so much you\u00a0have to tell us about it or you’ll squeesplode all over the damn Internets.<\/p>\n

And yes, I just made up a word, “squeesplode.”<\/p>\n

Please spread it widely and with wanton disregard for good manners.<\/p>\n

One thing you wanna pimp. Tell us what it is, by whom, and why you dig it.<\/p>\n

And not by you. But by\u00a0someone else<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here’s mine:<\/p>\n

DEAD THINGS<\/strong> by Stephen Blackmoore.<\/p>\n

Urban fantasy by way of Richard Kadrey and Jim Butcher. Grimmer stuff, I think, than his debut,\u00a0CITY OF THE LOST<\/strong>, but still funny at times, too. It’s about magic, and the power and sacrifices one makes with that magic — and one of those sacrifices may involve cozying up to Santa Muerte, which is not a goddess you really want to cozy up to. It’s got murder, mages, and ghosts aplenty. It’s really bad-ass and I want you to read it.<\/p>\n

Oh! And two more books in the series will be on the way, too. (CITY OF THE LOST<\/strong> takes place in the same world with the same rules but only has very minor crossover into\u00a0DEAD THINGS<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

Click here<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to check it out (you can even read the first chapter there).<\/p>\n
