The Dead Take the A Train by Cassandra Khaw and Richard Kadrey

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 Neil Gaiman and Joe Hill.
Julie Crews is a coked-up, burnt-out thirty-something who packs a lot of magic
into her small body. She's been trying to establish herself in the NYC magic
scene, and she'll work the most gruesome gigs to claw her way to the top.
Julie is desperate for a quick career boost to break the dead-end grind, but
her pleas draw the attention of an eldritch god who is hungry for revenge. Her
power grab sets off a deadly chain of events that puts her closest friends - 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 Khaw's cosmic horror and Kadrey's gritty fantasy into a fullthrottle thrill ride straight into New York's magical underbelly.
