Bob Proehl is an American novelist and former bookseller whose work sits at the intersection of literary fiction and genre storytelling. His debut, A Hundred Thousand Worlds (2016), is a road-trip novel about a mother and son traveling the comic convention circuit, and it set the stage for his interest in how pop culture shapes identity.

His Resonant Duology – The Nobody People (2019) and The Somebody People (2020) – takes the concept of people with superpowers and treats it as a realistic social and political phenomenon rather than a traditional superhero narrative. The books explore prejudice, identity, and the fear of difference through a speculative lens.
