 THE PALE HOUSE DEVIL is an excellent novella full of Kadrey's token "heroes" with questionable morals and snappy senses of humor. It's a full-throttle horror story with a melting pot of folklore and unspeakable monsters. This is a perfect afternoon read. I'm hopeful we'll see more of these characters.
