REVIEW:
Urban Fantasy takes a new twist as Tim brings his own version of the Incubi to the reader in a cracking crime thriller that readers will really get behind. It has great prose, some wonderful concepts and when added to principle players dialogue all round generates something that was a pure joy to sit back and read, so much so that I wouldn’t think that you’ll be getting much sleep that night.
Its definitely going to be a book where you feel naught with your “one more chapter” thought and when added to the fact that the world is so open for future exploits as well as the chance for truly evil villains all round makes this a book that I really can’t recommend enough to UF fans looking for something new.

SYNOPSIS:
Meet Matt Richter. Private Eye. Zombie.
From his first arrival in the deathless city of Nekropolis, ex-cop Richter has found himself embroiled in disputes with the city’s vampiric rulers, shapeshifters, golems and other monstrosities. But Nothing has prepared him for the Dark War.
Discover the explosive third book in the Matt Richter series, the stunning follow up to Nekropolis and Dead Streets.
REVIEW:
What do you get when you cross film noir, urban fantasy and a good (or bad depending on how you look at it) helping of humour? Well you get this far out creation from Tim Waggoner featuring Zombie Gumshoe, Matt Richter whose hard line is disconcerting in a world full of monsters.
Add to this some great twists, a cracking world for the character to tread the beat and it’s all in a very satisfactory read. What Tim brings to the genre is mystery with some great twists, a wickedly twisted sense of humour and an imagination that were the project to be filmed could well break a film studio. All in a great read and one that the only real downside was the cliff hanger ending which spells a more imminent problem for our detective hero and those he works with. Great stuff.
BOOK BLURB:
Meet Matt Richter. Private Eye. Zombie. His mean streets are the city of the dead, the shadowy realm known as Nekropolis. Book two of the Nekropolis series sends Matt Richter out on another deathly adventure. More pulp than Pulp Fiction, more butt-kicking than Buffy, Dead Streets is the second in this deathly new series.
REVIEW:
As a huge fan of the John Meaney Bone Song series, I really couldn’t wait to get my hands on this offering from Tim Waggoner as it followed a similar sort of premise. Yet the author does more than enough to make the world one of his own devising carefully utilising an Alan Moore type scenario where creatures of fiction, both written and film appear in cameo’s to aid in the tales depiction.
Carefully sculpted it really does give the reader a place that they can’t wait to discover and explore, yet whilst this is the second offering from Tim in the series its one that can be delved into with no prior knowledge of the original. Its UF in a new direction and probably will appeal to a great many readers especially those who love Zombies, Vamps, Frankenstein’s and of course Were’s. The only problem that you have now is where to find it. I believe it’s a step to the left and a jump to the right of from the centre of your usual fictional shelf. LOL
