"I am a very big believer in the power of trash: trash pop culture, trash literature. I really have a lot of affection and belief in that stuff, because art scares people. Trash, pop culture doesn't. You can put in all the subversive crazy stuff you want in trash culture that will change people's perceptions of the world, and they will read it and they will take it in. Whereas in art they are going to run from it. So subvert the world through trash." — Kill The Dead author Richard Kadrey, on Minnesota Public Radio More »

We've been huge fans of Richard Kadrey's writing ever since we read his seminal cyberpunk novel Metrophage, and we've been lucky enough to hear him read several times from his stories of the bizarre sex lives of mutant assassins. So we were thrilled when we found out he also creates gorgeous, disturbing fetish art under the name Kaos Beauty Klinik. His breathtaking work — including women with actual tentacles and gorgeous women who are masked and mysterious — reminds us of the freakish beauty of Joel Peter Witkin's art.
