I've reviewed the three main titles separately, but I wanted to put down a quick note about the short stories in this book, too -- they're worth reading, bridging the gaps and filling in the holes quite satisfactorily. I'm glad I had the collection both for those and because it was easy to go from one book to another without having to pause. Which is weird for me to say at the moment because -- look at my currently-reading shelf -- I'm doing nothing but pause.

There was some really fantastic stuff in this book. I like the world building and the characters. Matt is actually the stiffest character in there (yes, bad puns in the review I know). There were tons of secondary characters that were just excellent ideas. The gossip columnist that will literally disappear if people don't notice her? Great idea!
Here's the frustrating part: there are so many great ideas and wonderful characters it was horribly distracting to run into a character from a Mel Brooks...more

Jess told me about the original short story version of Nekropolis that she discovered at the public library when she was younger, so when I learned that there was an expanded and updated version being printed, I ordered a copy from the UK to send her as a gift.

Waggoner creates an interesting original (and yet also familiar) setting for his ghosts and goblins, and Matt Richter, Zombie Private Eye (I'll never get sick of that name) drags u...more

I enjoyed the world building, the characters, the stories - but I had trouble getting past the descriptions that were basically copy&pasted from other sections, short stories or novels. It's Mr Waggoner's prose, so he can use it as he likes, but I actually did not finish this collection. I just gave up. It felt like the same things were being said over and over, partially to keep the noir feeling going.
I may come back to this later, but reading them all at once was a big mistake.

$8.99 for all three
I wish someone would show this series to Tim Burton. It would make a killer film!
