Red Cells by Jeffrey Thomas
This was an ARC from NetGalley.
A private detective with a mild case of shapeshifting, doing time for a client who can't be bothered, in a maximum security prison, tucked away in a pocket universe, populated by aliens and mutants, watched over by robot guards and haunted by trans-dimensional specters....and the convicts are exploding at random. Thomas takes noir on a wild ride through a science fiction landscape, with horror riding shotgun in this breathtaking, thought provoking novella that will leave you wanting more.
An excellent introduction to the wondrous imagination of Jeffrey Thomas.
Highly recommended!
