I recently read "Butcher Bird" by Richard Kadrey, which is available as a free download from his publisher here. It is kind of a cross between American Gods by Neil Gaiman and the Nightside series by Simon R. Green. At this point in my life I've read enough sf/fantasy I wasn't particularly surprised or amazed by "Butcher Bird" but I enjoyed the plot and characters and thought it was well done. A fast fairly short read. [via]
