    Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim—aka James Stark—is, quite simply, one of the most outrageous uber-anti-heroes ever to kick serious butt on this or any other world or dimension. 
    In his previous three adventures—Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead, and Aloha from Hell—Stark has fled Hell for California, taken on angels, demons, outlaw bikers, zombies, covert government operatives, and all manner of monsters, while saving humankind from total annihilation on numerous occasions. But in Devil Said Bang, he finally assumes the role he was destined for: as the new Lucifer, ruler of the Underworld. 
    Combining outrageously edgy humor with a dark and truly twisted vision, Richard Kadrey has once again delivered a masterful amalgam of action novel, urban fantasy, and in-your-face horror that will delight a wide range of readers—from Christopher Moore and Warren Ellis fans to the devoted adherents of Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, and Simon Green.

    This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
    I am beyond life, 
    I am beyond strife, 
    I am long beyond my last breath, 
    I'm among the angelic host, 
    some call me a ghost, 
    I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
    I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
    as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.
