The Carrion City

The Dead Take the A-Train

A gritty, explosive and bloody cosmic horror, Buffy meets American Psycho, about a roguish magical fixer, who is the only thing stopping the finance industry from summoning the eldritch beings they worship and serve.

Julie Crews is a coked-up, burnt-out thirty-something who packs a lot of magic into her small body. She's trying to establish herself as a major Psychic Operative in the NYC magic scene, and she'll work the most gruesome gigs to claw her way to the top.

Desperate to break the dead-end grind, Julie summons a guardian angel for a quick career boost. But when her power grab accidentally releases an elder god hellbent on the annihilation of our galaxy, the body count rises rapidly.

The Dead Take the A Train is a high-octane cocktail of Khaw's cosmic horror and Kadrey's gritty fantasy—shaken, not stirred.
