Nationally bestselling authors Richard Kadrey and Cassandra Khaw have teamed up to deliver a dark new story where Neil Gaiman meets Jessica Jones with magic, monsters, and mayhem.
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 her power grab sets off a deadly chain events that puts her closest friends - and the entire galaxy - directly in the path of annihilation. The Dead Take the A Train is a high-octane cocktail of Khaw's cosmic horror and Kadrey's gritty fantasy--shaken, not stirred.
