Book of the week

Brent (Dork Lord extraordinaire) showed me a book by Minister Faust called Coyote Kings of the Space Age Bachelor Pad

This is a completely cool book full of magic and sci-fi geeks and drug dealers and pop-culture and satire and other good stuff like that and it's set in Edmonton (yay!) I took it out of the library (yes, Philadelphia has it) and finally got around to reading it. This is a book with tons of character. There are many different characters telling the story, each with their own voice and dialect and rhythm and style. The words are like music - I found myself reading parts aloud just to hear the sound of the story. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes interesting uses of language and kick-ass urban fantasy.
