The Necromancer's House by Christopher Buehlman
Modern day magician has to do battle with a Russian Boogeyman or woman as the case may be. It took a long time for me to figure out what the hell was going with this story and I felt i was playing catch-up the entire time I read the book. The story showed a really interesting application of magic to the modern world. The magic dealt with cars and over the internet and used VHS tapes to talk to the dead. It was very imaginative. The main magic user goes to AA and so does his best friend. The story kicks off because one of Alexander's creations kills a Russian neighbor. Unfortunately the Russian neighbor has connections to dark magic in Russia and they come seeking payback.
I think this story is going to stay with me for a while.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
