I started Micheal Slade's Special X series at the beginning of summer, thus far I have read:
Headhunter
Ghoul
Cutthroat
Ripper
Primal Scream
Evil Eye
Burnt Bones
and right now I am halfway through Hangman.
The writing in this series is really up and down as the pen name starts off as three dudes and then they start to drop off, until the last few books of the series are one of the original dudes and his daughter writing tandem. The cool thing about them is that they are all based out of vancouver (where i live).
I would reccomend the first two to fans of splatter-pulp, as the gore is really well laid out, although it comes off kinda like a police report in certain parts. The ones after the first two are still bloody, but tend to be more reasearch driven (hence long bibliographies at the end) and kinda lose their spooky edge.
I would highly reccomend them all to anyone who lives or has lived/knows alot about Vancouver, as all the murders take place in easily recognizable landmarks (mostly).
I have
Death's Door
Bed of Nails
Swastika
left to read. Hopefully I can finish them sooner than later, I was hoping to be done by the time Kamikaze was in paperback, but i think that may have happened earlier this month.
Here's dudes webby if anyone is interested:
