I thoroughly enjoyed this novella.  The jazz, the horror, the main character - Deacon.  But, I wish we got a little more of it all.  The horror was sprinkled in, and outside of Deacon, the other characters fell a little flat.  I think this novella needed maybe 10 extra pages to flesh some elements out.

What was here though, was good.
