Richard Kadrey is one of my many favorite science fiction/fantasy authors, so when he teamed up with horror writer Cassandra Khaw I just had to check out "The Dead Take The A Train."I am happy to share that I was not disappointed! Though, full disclosure, I had to take frequent breaks to process the vivid violence (though rest assured it was necessary for the plot).

Cassandra Khaw has quickly emerged on the dark fantasy/horror scene over the past few years with quite an impact. Her previous novels, NOTHING BUT BLACKENED TEETH and THE SALT GROWS HEAVY, were instant classics of the genre. Thus the anticipation was heightened for the release of her latest book, THE DEAD TAKE THE A TRAIN, a collaboration with Richard Kadrey.

What Makes Immortal Longings an Epic Fantasy?

Can you start by telling me broadly what genre we’re talking about today? I thought it might be noir with some fantasy thrown in or maybe even oddball crime fiction. It’s noir. It’s noir that isn’t either ‘noir with traditional milieu and traditional private eye protagonist’ or ‘noir with modern milieu and traditional protagonist.’The foundational building block of noir is that you have a protagonist who’s an unlicensed cop.
