Ben H. Winters writes across a wide range of genres, blending mystery, science fiction, horror, and literary fiction in ways that are hard to predict from one book to the next. He won the Edgar Award for The Last Policeman, a pre-apocalyptic mystery that asks what happens to law and order when the world is about to end.
His early work includes the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series, co-written with Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht, along with literary mashups that inserted monsters and robots into classic novels. He later shifted toward more serious fiction with Underground Airlines, an alternate-history thriller, and Golden State, a dystopian mystery about truth and lies. His plays, short fiction, and anthology contributions round out a body of work that resists easy categorization.
