The Pale House Devil
ByPublisher Description
A gripping, snappy creature feature from the master of horror noir about two detectives—one dead, one living—hired by an embittered old landowner to banish a bloody cosmic monster from his ancestral home, perfect for fans of Cassandra Khaw, Charles Stross and Lucy A. Snyder.
Ford and Neuland are paranormal mercenaries—one living, one undead; one of them kills the undead, the other kills the living. When a job goes bad in New York, they head west to wait for the heat to cool down.
There, a young woman named Tilda Rosenbloom hires them on behalf of wealthy landowner, Shepherd Mansfield, to track and kill a demon haunting a mansion in remote northern California.
As Ford and Neuland investigate the creature they uncover a legacy of blood, sacrifice and slavery in the house. Forced to confront a powerful creature unlike anything they’ve faced before, they come to learn that the most frightening monster might not be the one they're hunting...

“This was absolutely awful. And stupid. And I can’t believe I actually finished it. If it had been any longer, I wouldn’t have. I’m kind of mad at myself that I read the whole thing, actually.”

“It was short but I still really enjoyed it. Neuland and Ford kind of reminded me of Sam and Dean from Supernatural. I'm definitely reading the next book in the series.”

“Finished in one sitting! This is a short and sharp creature feature with a twist. Neuland and Ford are guns for hire. After a recent deal goes astray, they head west looking for work. There they are hired by Tilda who works for wealthy octogenarian Mr Mansfield, a man who needs something taken care of.
This was great fun! Kinda wished it was longer so I could spend more time with these characters but the story was fantastic as is! No notes.”About Richard Kadrey
