"Jonathan L. Howard has such an effortless way with monsters and the undead that you might suspect him of being, like his creation, Johannes Cabal, a necromancer. The series is addictive." —Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series"The Brothers Cabal is smart, funny, and dark in all the right places. Imagine Mycroft and Sherlock — if one were a polite vampire and the other were a surly necromancer — up against an army of monsters and magicians. Like Pratchett and Fforde, Jonathan L.

Then in walks the new guy with the unpronounceable last name who immediately becomes IT's most popular team member. Lain Laufeyjarson is charming and good-looking, with a story for any occasion; shy, awkward Sigmund is none of those things, which is why he finds it odd when Lain flirts with him.
