Urban fantasy author Richard Kadrey stops by to talk about King Bullet, the final volume in the Sandman Slim series, the series as a whole, the impetus for the evolution of James Stark, the balance of powering up and knocking down a fantasy hero to keep things interesting, and much more.

Richard also talks about his comics writing time, on Hellblazer and Lucifer especially, and writing a world more like the one we live in, and more. And keep an eye out in 2022 for “The Dead Take the A-Train” co-written by Richard and Cassandra Khaw, which they are currently working on.
