Petrucha, Stefan
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1959- ) US author of Graphic Novels and Ties and some independent series and volumes for the Young Adult market, some of them of sf and horror interest. Sequences include the Timetripper tales, beginning with Timetripper Book One: Yestermorrow (2006), set in the world of his Comic, Squalor; and the Wicked Dead sequence of horror tales beginning with Wicked Dead #1: Lurker (2007) with Thomas Pendleton; his Nancy Drew series of graphic novels tied to the long-time Stratemeyer series is not fantastic. His novels include Making God (1997), a tale set in the very Near Future as the Millennium approaches, and a crazed prophet may bring Disaster; Time Hunter: The Tunnel at the End of the Light (2004), set in a London besieged from Underground by Monsters hungry for sugar; Frankenstein: The Shadow of Frankenstein (2006), tied to The Bride of Frankenstein (1935); and The Rule of Won (2008), which is horror edging into the supernatural as the eponymous diktat licences misrule.
