Publisher Description

Bestselling authors Cassandra Khaw and Richard Kadrey have teamed up to deliver a dark new story with magic, monsters, and mayhem, perfect for fans of unhinged eldritch horror.

Julie is a coked-up, burnt-out thirty-year-old whose only retirement plan is dying early. She’s been trying to establish herself in the NYC magic scene, and she’ll work the most gruesome gigs, exorcize the nastiest demons, and make deals with the cruelest gods to claw her way to the top. But nothing can prepare her for the toughest job yet: when her best friend, Sarah, shows up at her door in need of help. Keeping Sarah safe becomes top priority.

Julie is desperate for a quick fix to break the dead-end grind and save her friend. But her power grab sets off a deadly chain of events that puts Sarah – and the entire world - directly in the path of annihilation.

The first explosive adventure in the Carrion City Duology, The Dead Take the A Train fuses Cassandra Khaw’s cosmic horror and Richard Kadrey’s gritty fantasy into a full-throttle thrill ride straight into New York’s magical underbelly.

A 2024 Dragon Awards for Best Horror Novel nominee!

The Eyes Have it

Liked it. You got mucus, tendrils, eyeballs with teeth, filmy phlegm and did I mention mucus? And then you got some really weird stuff. Full disclosure: I can only compare this related to Kadreys’ work as I’m not familiar with anything by Khaw. This was an excellent read, leaving me ready for the next book. Wish there was a bit of a back story on the magic and how it all came to be. Nice work you two.
