Who is Peter Clines?

Peter Clines, born in 1969, is an American author who came to fiction by way of the film industry, where he spent fifteen years working as a props master before writing full time. That backstage apprenticeship shows in his instincts. He is best known for Ex-Heroes, his zombies-versus-superheroes series, and for the Lovecraft-inspired Threshold novels 14 and The Fold.

His short fiction has appeared in a range of anthologies, including X-Files: Trust No One, edited by Jonathan Maberry – the sort of company that tells you roughly where his sensibilities lie: genre fiction with a healthy appetite for the uncanny.

Peter Clines in audiobooks

God’s Junk Drawer is the Clines title in our catalogue, and the name alone is a fair sample of his sensibility: big cosmic ideas handled with a grin rather than a shudder. Clines built his reputation on splicing genres together – superheroes with zombies, Lovecraftian dread with page-turner plotting – and that blend suits audio well, where momentum and atmosphere matter more than anything. For UK listeners who like their speculative fiction unpretentious and propulsive, he is an easy recommendation: the kind of storyteller who knows exactly what a hook is for, and never makes you wait long for the next one.
