The Trickster God has been partying hard as a rock band guitarist and thought it would be fun to bequeath the crown to the lead singer, Nihilator, unaware of its true significance—and the corruptive, destructive influence of its true power. Joining forces with the Korean tiger-goddess Horangi, a band of space pirates—and Loki—Thor must not only recover the crown from Nihilator to stop an apocalypse, but also redeem himself for the role he played during the so-called revolution on Miksander . . .

"My name is Brian Keene. I''m a writer by trade and a road warrior by heart. Neither of these things are wise career or life choices. The tolls add up.Over the last twenty years, things have changed. Book tours have changed, publishing has changed, bookselling has changed, conventions have changed, horror fiction-and the horror genre-have changed. I''ve changed, too.The only things that haven''t changed are writing and the road. They stay the same. The words we type today are the past tomorrow. Everything is connected like the highways on a map are connected. This holds true for the history of our genre, as well.I rode into town twenty years ago. Now I''m riding out. You''re all coming with me..."So begins Brian Keene''s End of the Road-a memoir, travelogue, and post-Danse Macabre examination of modern horror fiction, the people who write it, and the world they live-and die-in.

"Where We Live and Die" collects Brian Keene''s best stories about the writing life, including his metafictional ghost story masterpiece "The Girl on the Glider," a glimpse of Adam Senft (from Keene''s "Dark Hollow and Ghost Walk) in Hell, and a never-before-printed spoken word poem encapsulating the history of the horror genre. "Where We Live and Die" is a masterful collection by a Grandmaster of Horror and a fictional guidebook for the working writer.
