Hey,

Right, so this is a very short novella called Blood Follows by Steven Erikson. If the name sounds familiar, that's because he's got this Malazan Empire Series going on. Great big books weighing in at 1200 pages each. I've been working my way through them and have found them all pretty good.

This book is a short (~100 pages long) story involving a trio of characters introduced in Memories of Ice. Bauchelain is a debonair demonologist, Korbal Broach is a crazed necromancer, Emancipator Reece is the hapless git who's just been employed as their new manservant. There's a series of mysterious murders, but considering the ever-polite forces of evil who star in the story, it's not much of a mystery. Instead, there are some truly wonderful character interactions between the magcians, the manservant, the cop investigating the murders and a small handful of other odd characters. Although it takes place in Erikson's Malazan setting, it's a complete, free-standing story all on it's own.

It's a lot of fun for a short read. It's certainly inspiring for a new RPG character.
