Richard Kadrey is an American author who works across urban fantasy, science fiction, horror, and comics. He came up through the cyberpunk movement in the late 1980s and later found his biggest audience with the Sandman Slim series, which ran for thirteen books between 2009 and 2021. His writing tends toward dark humor, noir settings, and protagonists who operate on the margins of both human and supernatural worlds.
Beyond Sandman Slim, Kadrey has written the Another Coop Heist series (comic supernatural heist stories), the Discreet Eliminators series, and Carrion City. He has also contributed to DC Comics properties, writing volumes of The Hellblazer and Lucifer. His earlier work includes the cyberpunk novel Metrophage and non-fiction books on underground culture. His short stories and anthologies span science fiction, horror, and fantasy publications going back to the late 1980s.
