In 2213, humans are no longer the dominant species on Earth. The Stymphalians are.

Alex Wolford, and everyone he knows, grew up as prey. They hide away from the Stymphs, using technology to survive in an underground Base. Go outside, and you risk becoming food for the Earth's new apex predator.

When a scavenging party discovers a map to a pre-'Stymph War' artifact, Alex must decide: Is survival enough? Or should they fight for a better tomorrow?No more living scared of every noise. No more losing people every day to the jaws of Stymphs.

The only problem? The artifact, and Alex's hope of a better tomorrow, lies on the other side of a monstrous Stymph pack...

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Chris is an otherworldly entity manifesting as a short male human being. He writes comedic stories from his home realm. The humans continue to classify them as 'weird horror' or 'funny mystery' fiction.

He tries not to take offense.

He has unfortunately had to reveal himself to a select few, who figured out the secret truth buried in his written works. Or maybe he will soon. You humans have a bizarre understanding of time.

As his work is fracturally out of scope with most writings on this planet, he bills himself as "The Wrong Writer." Wrongness, after all, is much broader and more colorful. Only one way to be right...so many ways to be wrong. Especially with this medium you call the written word.

Since he must earn financial assets while residing in this dimension, he works as a content writer & manager. Finding the right words for business use is easy, after all...

Perhaps you too enjoy Wrongness? Stories that make you laugh, shake your head, eye-twitch, weep for humanity, throw the Kindle across the room, or wonder what's wrong with the author?

(He is still aiming to achieve all of these effects at once.)

If so, enjoy the Wrong Writer's wondrous stories across the genres of post-apocalyptic sci-fi, dark urban fantasy, sarcastic mystery, and weird horror.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story!

I really enjoyed this book! I appreciated the author's style of writing, very crisp and clear, with great imagery - the characters were a pleasure (or a disgust) to meet! A great dystopian view of a possible future, in which humans are no longer the dominant life force, but had become the preferred food for a new life force. Very much worth reading! I can't wait for the next book to come out.

He's got a wicked imagination and the ability to put it to words. I'm currently engrossed in The Viscount and loving it so far. started reading it about 7:30 eastern time and didn't put it down for two hours.

The twists are really interesting. I figured out one but the other kinda threw me out of left field.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not my cup of tea

The plot was entertaining enough to keep me reading until the end, but I admit I skimmed the last chapters.

(Spoilers follow!)

The setting is intriguing - 200 years in the future, huge wolf-like predators are hunting humans, who are forced to hunker down in bases inhabited by a couple hundred people each. Cloning with full memories is possible if you have a person's blood sample, but the reawakended risk sterility, so the future of the human race is in danger.

However... the world building just didn't deliver. For a race in danger of extinction, the humans are weirdly uninterested in perpetuating the species. Monogamy is not a thing anymore, but there doesn't seem to be any plan to repopulate (and at one point, a bunch of people try to kill a woman who would add to the genetic pool, just because she's a newcomer?!). Despite cloning being possible, no one thinks of just taking blood samples from everyone before they go into battle and get obliterated.

The main antagonist of the first half of the novel is a caricature of a woman who almost gets everyone killed by sleeping with the officer in charge of monitoring comms while he's supposed to be on duty. Flawed characters are interesting, but there was nothing redeeming about her and she didn't feel like a real person.

The main character, Alex, and one of the newcomers, Vincent, were the most interesting to me. (Even though you can see the twist at the end coming, I was curious enough to see exactly how we get there.) I feel like the novel would have been much better if it was all written from Alex's point of view, with only the information he was privy too. Too many POV humans (and stymphs at one point!) made it too "telling-instead-of-showing" for me. What drew me to the book was the first chapters, in which Alex didn't know everything and was just as curious as me to see what happens.

And, last but not least, the thing that really clinched the rating for me... the writing style. One example: "People gave one another furtive glances. Speaking little. Until Lieutenant Evans made a discovery." If you like this style, full of short, verbless sentences, then you will definitely enjoy the book more than me. I just wanted to edit them all into longer sentences...

A good dystopian sci-fi novel. Set on the West Coast of the USA the author paints a wonderfully terrible picture of a future plagued by monsters and the humans trying to survive. Are they man made or evolutionary? Hopefully we find out in the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced dystopian novel
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020
I received a complimentary copy through Voracious Readers in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this book was well-written and the author was able to make me feel like I entered a dystopian future where survival is the new normal. The characters were diverse and well thought out and the technology that existed in this world was pretty cool.

The only criticism I have is that there were some typos that should have been caught in the editing process. However, these errors did not disengage me from the plot because I was already deeply connected to the characters and enjoyed the story.

I am curious to see where the series goes from here. I am thankful that Voracious Readers exist since I may not have a chance to read amazing books from lesser known authors like Chris Williams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Paced, Gripping Novel
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020
This post-apocalyptic novel is one of the best I've read so far. The story is fast-paced without feeling rushed and without losing any character development or descriptions. It's set in a time when only a few small bases of humans struggle to survive against an ever-growing number of a deadly species of monster. Highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020
From the beginning I was drawn into the book. I loved seeing the vision of the world the author imagined, from the stymphs to the cloning process and everything in between. There was such a strong voice throughout that it kept me turning the page, even during the slower aspects of the book.

I will say there were a few world building plots that didn’t make sense to me and the fact that so many characters were introduced in the first chapter threw me off a bit but over all it was a great read that kept me turning the page.

Thanks voraciousreader for the complimentary copy!

I signed up a free copy of this book through Voracious Readers. I definitely would've paid money!! It's worth it. This book definitely kept me reading. I'm a fan of military science fiction and this book was very engrossing and well written. The characters were also very well fleshed out. I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure and look forward to the next installment.
