Richard Kadrey Talks and Signs Books at the Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe

Comics & urban fantasy author Richard Kadrey will be in Santa Fe on November 28 to talk about and sign the ninth book in his Sandman Slim series, The Kill Society (published in June 2017).

About the New Book: “Sandman Slim returns in this stunning, high-octane ninth thriller in the series, filled with the intense, kick-ass action and inventive fantasy that are the hallmarks of New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey. Sandman Slim has been to Heaven and Hell and many places in between, but now he finds himself in an unknown land: the far, far edge of the Tenebrae, the desolate home of the lost dead. Making his way inland with nothing but his unerring instinct for trouble to guide him, he collides with a caravan of the damned on a mysterious crusade, led by the ruthless Magistrate. Alone and with no clue how to get back home, he throws in with this brutal bunch made up of human souls, Hellion deserters, rogue angels – and Father Traven.Slim didn’t land in Tenebrae by chance. His little stunt of trying to open Heaven has set off a tsunami across the universe. Now, the afterlife is falling apart because of the ensuing warfare. And when Heaven finds out Slim is close by, the angels put a fat bounty on his head.”

Kadrey is the author of 13 novels, including Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead, Butcher Bird, and The Wrong Dead Guy; plus dozens of stories. He created and wrote the Vertigo comics mini-series Accelerate, which was illustrated by the Pander Brothers. He plans to do more comic work in the near future. He has written and spoken about art, culture and technology for Wired, The San Francisco Chronicle, Discovery Online, The Site, SXSW, and Wired For Sexon the G4 cable network. He is a freelance writer living in San Francisco.
