Johannes Cabal and the Blustery Day: And Other Tales of the Necromancer by Jonathan L. Howard
3.0
(3.5 Stars)
This book is the collection of short stories from various publications all presented into one volume. It really can be read at any point in the series, or you can check here on Goodreads to see which order to read in-between novels. Or it can really be read independently of the series to get a feel for the main character and writing style of the author.
Johannes Cabal will appeal to dark urban fantasy readers with elements of Victorian era steampunk and light-hearted horror. Johannes Cabal is one of those types of people that automatically assumes he is the smartest person in any room he enters... and will tell you why, or be astounded when you don't see it yourself. He is a Necromancer by trade, and if you know what that is, and enjoy sardonic humor, this book might be for you.
The audiobook is narrated nicely, easy to follow the dialog between characters, and great production quality. It was a little slow for my tastes so I turned it up to 1.75 normal speed and didn't suffer from any misunderstood words or missed breaks.
