Evil Dark<\/a><\/em> (2012) Justin Gustainis<\/a><\/p>\n

\"EvilDark\"<\/a>Stan Markowski is still on the supe squad in Scranton, still looking into crime committed by and\/or against supernatural creatures, and this time a series of murders looks to be tied together, but the answer to cui bono<\/em> is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

Like the first book, dark in the way many police procedurals are, but also amusing.<\/p>\n

Combine that with the goatee and his fondness for black clothing and you’ve got a look … once described to me as Faustian. …(He) would have looked good as Mephistopheles in a staging of Marlowe’s play. Faust himself was no fashion plate, by most accounts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It also continues to ask some interesting questions–once that would be asked if supernatural creatures were integrated into modern society.<\/p>\n

“That doesn’t apply to supernaturals, of course.”<\/p>\n

“How come?” Karl asked.<\/p>\n

“Because the distinctions aren’t as clear. For instance, do you consider a vampire who kills people a serial killer, or just hungry?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No, I don’t know why I like supernatural mysteries so well, I just do. And this is a pretty good one (although I must admit the cover is atrocious. Thank goodness this was an ebook.)
