If there be such creatures in the world of bizarro fiction, Danger Slater's protagonists often caution readers to not seek meaning in what they've just ingested. Jimmy Watson Jr, son of the Impossible James of this title and narrator of this novel, tells you the same thing. If there is meaning, he says, it's been lost already. You can reread the book if you want, but the words and sentences do not change.

He has a point.

However, there is no denying that Danger Slater's Impossible James is a distinctly human tale at its core. It's a story about birth and rebirth, about the life of the father as it reflects against and ultimately overpowers and outshines the son.

Or it could just be one hell of an entertaining tale.

Danger Slater has proven once again that he has a unique ability to take a single individual's life and make it consequential not only to the entire world but also to the galaxy and beyond. As much as we'd like to be able to confine ourselves to our impossible rooms, all the while believing we're safe from what rolls behind the walls, that creeping gray tide eventually rolls right over us.

If you're not already familiar with Danger Slater's work, Impossible James would make a fine introduction. Wonderfully bizarre, funny, and absolutely entertaining. ( )

Excellent!!! What a weird and twisted read. All I can say is it's quite the experience and I would recommend it. Slater has quite the imagination. ( )
