I've mentioned before that when it comes to reading, horror isn't always my go-to genre. When I hunker down with a book, I usually pick a thriller or hardboiled crime novel before I reach for the living dead. That obviously doesn't mean I dislike reading horror, laws no. I just go through so much of it for the site, I need to take the occasional break. But sometimes a book comes along that merges horror and hardboiled so effortlessly, I get a bit giddy because I get two of my favorite genres in one book. That doesn't happen often, but when it does it's pretty awesome. William Hjortsberg's Falling Angel is one of these novels.
