A curious mix of Altered Carbon meets Dresden Files. Inventive, curious setting. Really enjoyed novella #1, had fun with #2 but slowly started losing interest after the 50% mark.

This is a nice omnibus collection but just not exactly my 'cup of tea'.

A bunch of stories linked by The Slab, a space slum full of all sorts of low-lifes, including werewolves, vampires and genetically modified people. A solid anthology of sorts, though I think it was a case where I'd prefer if I read them. That being said, the narrator amped up the gumshoe noir feel with an excellent performance. Close to 4.5/10.
