When Moon Karma Zero started up, Mike would put up links of his favourite artists. Most of the time, they'd be painters or comic artists with a distinct style. Not being into art as much as Mike, I never really got into it as much as he did. My tastes aren't nearly as expansive as Mike when it comes to art, but I think that I'm far more expansive when it comes to the writen word. This brings us up to today.
Richard Kadrey is an incredibly talented writer. An escape from the cyberpunk movement. He doesn't write much about cyber mages or nonesense anymore. I suppose it's because the future came and lo, it was mundane. Who could have forseen that cyberspace would be powered by mothers writing e-mails to distant children or gritty reality porn? Not the techno-kings and their giga-bite subjects. Kadrey is hardened by this and changes. Things become stranger.
Kadrey writes self proclaimed "nano tales". Short stories that take place in an eye blink. One page, tops. They deal with the obscene, the strange and the unwriten. Marvels for your brain. Here's a taster: Magnetic Gardens. You can find the rest in the Infinite Matrix's archive. Do a Control F and look for Kadrey. You'll dig it.
