“A dark fable full of emotional heft and humor. Luke Kondor comes at you sideways, surprising you with universal truths beneath a whacked-out Bizarro veneer. The Run Fantastic is constantly entertaining, and right up my alley.” —Danger Slater, author of I Will Rot Without You At 5:45 am, Ampersand Jones develops a brain aneurysm and dies in his sleep. He then gets up and goes for a run. With his positive-thinking podcasts for company, he decides that he’s going to run himself back to life, having to outrun warring running clubs, reanimated road kill, and the personification of death along the way. The Run Fantastic is a surreal comedy about lost boys and dead things, sitting somewhere between The Mighty Boosh, Peter Pan, and Beetlejuice. “I’m very impressed with Luke’s brain. I think he should send The Run Fantastic to David Firth so he can make an animation to accompany a reading of this entire book, that’s how unsettling, hilarious and Northern The Run Fantastic is. It’s full of clever metaphors, daft as a Mighty Boosh episode and so beautiful in places that everything about humanity, love and death makes sense, if only for a minute.” —Madeleine Swann, author of Fortune Box

Since the 1970s, FantasticLand has been the theme park where “Fun is Guaranteed!” But when a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates the park, the employees find it anything but fun. Five weeks later, the authorities who rescue the survivors encounter a scene of horror. Photos soon emerge online of heads on spikes outside of rides and viscera and human bones littering the gift shops, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares. How could a group of survivors, mostly teenagers, commit such terrible acts? Presented as a fact-finding investigation and a series of first-person interviews, FantasticLand pieces together the grisly series of events. Park policy was that the mostly college-aged employees surrender their electronic devices to preserve the authenticity of the FantasticLand experience. Cut off from the world and left on their own, the teenagers soon form rival tribes who viciously compete for food, medicine, social dominance, and even human flesh. This new social network divides the ravaged dreamland into territories ruled by the Pirates, the ShopGirls, the Freaks, and the Mole People. If meticulously curated online personas can replace private identities, what takes over when those constructs are lost? FantasticLand is a modern take on Lord of the Flies meets Battle Royale that probes the consequences of a social civilization built online.

Presidential hopeful Senator Will Lee and his wife Kate are drawn into a web of political scandal and intrigue that threatens to rip the nation apart, and the only way out is to negotiate a minefield of double-dealing advisors.

Inside a room kept secret from even his closest friends and family, Reed Richards had scrawled upon the walls 100 of the biggest and boldest ideas his brain could produce. And, recently, he added a 101st, the most audacious ever: "Solve everything." It would be a mantra that would lead the obsessively intellectual Mr. Fantastic to doing great works on behalf of humanity - and, in typically fantastic fashion, lead him into even greater trouble! For, as the big brain of the Fantastic Four will find out, solving everything carries with it a great cost, and one that is perhaps too much to pay.
