Strong Bones

By Robert J. Peterson

“Peterson’s tale strives to enshrine all that was magical about growing up in the ’80s. He laces his narrative with mentions of favorite films, toys, video games, music, and fashion, much like Ernest Cline does in Ready Player One (2011). While primarily being a Stephen King–style panorama of a town gripped by horror, Peterson’s story also feels like a cautionary middle-grade tale … A magical killer and ’80s pop culture headline this crowded but engaging horror tale.”
—Kirkus Reviews

It’s 1989, and evil’s on the loose in the Smoky Mountains.

Now, only a brave group of friends can stop it, using their imaginations and a little bit of magic.

Okay … a lot of magic.

The Remnants (The Deadblast Chronicles: Book 2)

By Robert J. Peterson

“Peterson’s weirdly fascinating environment will appeal to fans of epic world building, and the generous dose of ribaldry in the story is a welcome treat.”
—Booklist

The apocalypse happened, but no one knows how. All that’s left are a smattering of bizarro cities called remnants, each ruled by a grotesque potentate known as an Odd. If you wind up in hock to the Odds, they ship you to a chain-gang that stretches thousands of miles across desert, steppe, and tundra.

The Odds (The Deadblast Chronicles: Book 1)

By Robert J. Peterson

The Odds hearkens me back to childhood: under the covers with a flashlight, following characters I loved through worlds I desperately wanted to explore.”
—Dalan Musson, screenwriter, Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

THE ODDS is a postapocalyptic action-comedy, an extended ode to John Carpenter’s BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, and the first in a four-book cycle, THE DEADBLAST CHRONICLES.
