We are sad to share that James Sallis passed away on January 27, 2026, peacefully, with his wife Karyn by his side, after a long illness. This website will be maintained as Jim's work continues to be published, shared, and appreciated. February, 2026: Jim's official obituary is online. Memorials and accolades are beginning to appear. Notably, Jim's US publishers, Soho Press, issued a moving press release; Raphaëlle Leyri of Le Monde wrote a memorial [paywall]; Adrian McKinty penned a remembrance for CrimeReads; Daniel Grear memorialized Jim for the Arkansas Times; The Telegraph shared this obituary; and The New York Times published an obituary [paywall]. Arley Sorg's recent interview with Jim appears in the February issue of Clarkesworld Magazine. David L. Ulin's article, "James Sallis and the Art of Crime Fiction," appears in Alta Journal. Seven of Jim's poems will appear in issue 20 of Exacting Clam. Jim's new book, World's Edge, is out on February 10 from Soho Press, as is the paperback version of Bright Segments. December, 2025: Jim's review of Jonathan Carroll's most recent novel, Mr. Breakfast, is the lead piece in the recently released winter issue of Rain Taxi. His short story "And We Shall Find Rest" just appeared in the December/January issue of Asimov's. The story begins:
We found six dead out behind the store this morning. No one knows what
it is, and at this point no one really cares. We just wait our turn.
Rudy called in the request to Retrieval. They said they'd put us on the
list, looked like maybe four days till fulfillment.
October, 2025: Soho Press will publish Jim's mosaic novel World's Edge, set in a near-future, balkanized United States, in February of 2026, simultaneously publishing the paperback edition of last year's Bright Segments: The Complete Short Fiction. Then, in October, Soho will bring out Jim's new crime novel, Backwater. August, 2025: Jim's new story "Shiny," rather an unusual love story, appeared August 15 on the online magazine 365tomorrows. The first of a series of stories under the collective title "Letters from New America" will debut in the third issue of the UK magazine Remains edited by Andy Cox, in the fine company of such as Steve Rasnic Tem, Andrew Hook, and Allison Littlewood.
