The author doesn't avoid pulp/noir stereotypes - on the contrary, he makes good use of every possible cliché to create an impossible post-Modernist atmosphere, mixing 1930s detective stories with present-day cyberpunk fantasies and adding a generous dash of "the future that never was".

I was captured, first of all, by the language. Fantasy has its rhythm of its own but Constantine takes these rhythms and turns them into poetry. The turn of a phrase, the lush imagination of new things, one bright shiny word that means so much.
