The book shares some similarities with the aforementioned title, with its supernatural elements and semi-foggy sense of time and place, but here those elements feel less stylized and more the result of awkward storytelling.

Recommended for weird pulp completists, but for others seeking a far-out, two-fisted occult pulp adventure, try Paul Ernst's Doctor Satan stories instead.

I made it halfway through and could find no reason to go on. Feb 27, Lin J. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

I have no problem with the love side story, scant as it is, but the american male agents were just as useless to the plot as they were in the story.

Delicious pulp-era fantasy with a noir feel. This is mostly a rehash of my response to JLin's review below, but that review is so old that I felt a need to post a fresh review of my own.

The Slayer of Souls is very much a product of its time, but IMO, it's hiding a pretty daring feminist message beneath its seemingly traditional facade; and that, for all its cultural insensitivities, makes it an interesting read.

She accepts Cleves' help and expects him to protect her - but she's already killed the first assassin by herself, and by the end of the novel she's killed all the rest by herself!

As for the faked marriage, I think we have to accept that as the reality of Women wouldn't even get the vote for another year, and they were normally tied up on pedestals where they could be admired without having any agency of their own.

Recklow is just being practical in suggesting the marriage: he wants to preserve Tressa's reputation, and that's the only way to do it.

But note that Recklow is also the only one of the four men who respects and trusts her completely from the moment he meets her.

My theory is that Chambers uses him as the voice of reason in this story. He's older and wiser than the three men who serve under him, and they look to him for advice.

So IMO, Recklow's role in the novel to reassure those readers of that there's nothing to fear from a woman with power. I think he had a pretty modern attitude for his time.

Slayer of Souls. Mistakenly, he was assumed to have fallen in battle. But he managed to escape at the last moment.

This is the moment when the player gets his turn. In order to regain control of Sindea and reignite the overpowering enemy, area by area must now be re-conquered.

Over 3, different items of equipment, skill training, numerous crisp quests, and challenging battles against other players in the ladder-based arena leave the anti- hero in Slayer of Souls with little time to breathe.

In addition, an army of up to 50 men can be commanded. The different units have individual abilities, so that the composition of the army has a tactical component.

The beast still remains, these have different characteristics, which are useful to the players in the single player mode and are individually trained.
