About this ebook
A Long Spoon is a dark steampunk fantasy novella from British author Jonathan L. Howard, a Tor.com Original story
You may have heard of Johannes Cabal; he is a necromancer and a little infamous. He is also very sensitive to attempts on his life. When a murder of crows tries to... well, murder him, and the contents of his bath are transmuted into hot nitric acid, he suspects someone may mean him harm. The trail leads to one of the less travelled parts of Hell itself, and there Cabal will need a guide.
As Dante had his Virgil, so Cabal employs the services of a devil who is a monster, a predator, and -- most alien of all to Cabal--a woman. The devil Zarenyia and he delve deep into Hell, even into Satan's greatest mistake,to confront challenges quite outside the ken of any mortal. But one should always use a long spoon when supping with a devil, and Cabal soon realises the unthinkable, a horror beyond his experience. He is actually beginning to like her.

I love the chemistry between these two characters. It really brings out a side of cabal we don't often see. One of my favorite sections in the series.

A good read despite being ~~50 paged. I'm not usually one for short stories but I did enjoy this one.

Also a really cheeky eunuch comes into the mix and a sweater played a key roll. There is also something about a fish sandwich.
