Scar Night

Scar Night (2006) by Alan Campbell

A city hanging by chains over an abyss is a richly imagined setting.

The novel features some interesting characters:

Dill (the last archon, dumber than Forrest Gump)

Rachel (assassin)

Devon (poisoner)

Carnival (fallen angel / vampire)

Mr. Nettle (scrounger)

The story includes a large body count.

An abrupt ending sets up a sequel.
