Mike Carey is a writer I have been a fan of since long before he was writing novels. His run on Hellblazer made me a fan instantly. Creator of Lucifer the Sandman spin-off he made his name in comics. Under his own name, he wrote an excellent series of novels about an exorcist named Felix Castor. It wasn’t until he published under a thinly veiled pen name MR Carey that he had an international bestseller in The Girl with All The Gifts. It also went on to be a movie starring Glen Close.
In this interview, Mike and I discuss his epic new space opera that never leaves Earth Infinity Gate. This is one of the best Science Fiction novels I have read in years. We talk about Mike’s career, taking big swings with high concepts, the genesis of Infinity Gate, and get under the hood of this incredible novel.
