Fantasy Noir
With her novel, Doorway To Hell, Janet Post has taken fantasy to a new level.
Set in the seedy San Francisco underbelly, the colorful characters and dynamic visceral breakneck plotting coupled with hilarious throwaway dialogue and detailed minute-by-minute action resonate with noir novels, but with a fantasy twist. Reading this book is almost like watching a popular movie populated with a cast of original iconic characters who literally leap off the page. The story is also a skillfully crafted metaphor of a crumbling diseased society. The gang of heroes and a loving dragon fighting against deadly, voracious, marauding vampires who want to rule society are unlike any you have encountered. I highly recommend this book. It is a real page-turner.
