Oh, wow. This is why I got a Kindle, to find fun new authors who write new and original stories. Dead Man's Rain is set in a gritty world where magic happens, but it's not common, where ogres live alongside humans and the occasional elf, where rich vampires hunt the night with the permission of the local authorities, and where finder Markhat has unwanted assistance in getting cases from his neighbor, the card reader Mama Hog. And then you get to the case itself . . . .Along with creating fascinating characters, the author gives a lot of little details that make the story come alive.One note, though: as other reviewers have mentioned, this is a short story/novella and not a novel.Would I reread this book? I already have.Would I spend money on this book? I would, and I did. In fact, I ended up buying all of his books, even Wistril Compleat, which is very different in tone and content.Kindle infoFormatting: Very well formatted.Length: 1452 locations (1453-1611 contain the About the Author and an excerpt from 7% and Rising)
