If you loved Stark's relentless quest for revenge and his navigation of a gritty supernatural underworld in Sandman Slim, you'll be drawn to Felix Castor's determined pursuit of justice as a freelance exorcist in The Devil You Know. Like Stark, Castor is pulled into dangerous cases with personal stakes, battling dark forces and his own inner demons in a vividly realized, haunted London.

If Stark's morally ambiguous choices and antiheroic swagger resonated with you, Joe Pitt—a vampyre enforcer navigating the brutal factions of Manhattan—will be right up your alley in Already Dead. The book is packed with questionable decisions, hard-boiled narration, and a protagonist who does what's necessary, not what's right.

If you enjoyed how Sandman Slim blends dark fantasy with razor-sharp wit and irreverent humor, you'll love The Rook. Myfanwy Thomas wakes up with no memory, a letter warning her of danger, and inherits a secret government agency managing supernatural threats—with plenty of dry humor and absurd predicaments along the way.

If the modern Los Angeles setting brimming with hidden magic in Sandman Slim appealed to you, Midnight Riot delivers a similar blend—following Peter Grant, a London cop apprenticed to a wizard. Expect urban landscapes, supernatural crime, and a city that’s as much a character as any human or monster.

If you were hooked by the brutal, violent tone and the bleak worldview of Sandman Slim, The Blade Itself delivers a cast of deeply flawed characters fighting for survival in a merciless world. With graphic violence and an unflinching look at the darker side of heroism, this grimdark fantasy will keep you riveted.
