A shocking accident gave Matthew Cahill the ability to see a nightmarish netherworld that nobody else does.... Pitting him in a fight to save us all, and his own soul, from the clutches of pure evil in these three exhilarating tales of dark humor, nonstop action, and pure horror in The Dead Man series. Matt is trapped on a traffic-choked interstate in a hellacious blizzard that's Colder Than Hell...chasing an escaped psycho killer while battling a mutant virus so virulent and horrific that it even terrifies Mr. Dark.... A crippled Matt, badly injured in a bloody bus crash, is in a race against time across a blasted desert hell to prevent a massacre that will give Mr. Dark terrifying new powers and plenty of Evil to Burn. Matt is tormented by puzzling nightmares that draw him to a town that is covered in Streets of Blood by a dark force, one more powerful than Mr. Dark, that is driving people to commit insane acts of unimaginable violence.

Volume Six of The Dead Man features stories by Anthony Neil Smith, Lisa Klink and Barry Napier. All are very talented writers and to their credit, the character of Matt Cahill seems consistent across all three stories.
In Colder Than Hell, something other than the typical work of Mr. Dark is in play as stranded motorists in a severe blizzard are possessed by a mysterious impulse that leads to bizarre, occasionally homicidal behavior that frightens even the evil Dark. The story moves a little slowly through the first half, but gains momentum and intensity as it moves along.
Evil to Burn finds Matt on a bus to the opening of lodge on Native American grounds where he anticipates trouble when an incident waylays him and his fellow passengers. Piecing together the mystery of his fellow passengers helps him figure out a way to get to his destination with only minutes to spare. Leaving him to search for a way to stop the evil that is still waiting to be unleashed.
Streets of Blood, the final and strongest story of the three, leads Matt to a retirement home in rural Virginia and a town with a streak of unusual and unexplained violent outbursts. Matt is also beset by odd dreams featuring five young girls and the ever-present Mr. Dark. Unraveling the cause of the disturbances as well as the meaning of the dreams becomes a race against time as the outbreaks of violence increase and ultimately threaten to engulf the town.
All three stories are entertaining and each story is a little better than the last. Each suffers from a few narrative flaws, but they remain a lot of fun. The series as a whole is a great throwback to pulp series of the past, and Volume Six is a fine addition. If you like a good horror story with the right mix of shock, suspense, mystery and action, then you will enjoy these books. Recommended read.
