Jonathan Maberry has built a career that spans horror, thriller, science fiction, young adult fiction, comics, and nonfiction. His first published novel, Ghost Road Blues, launched the Pine Deep trilogy in 2006, a horror series set in a small Pennsylvania town menaced by supernatural evil. The series earned him a Bram Stoker Award and set the tone for his later work, which often blends action with horror elements.
His Joe Ledger series, beginning with Patient Zero in 2009, follows a former detective recruited into a secret government agency to fight bioterrorism and increasingly strange threats. The series has grown through many novels and short stories, and the character’s story continues in the Rogue Team International spinoff series. Maberry has also had success in young adult fiction with the Benny Imura series (starting with Rot and Ruin), set in a post-apocalypse where a teenage boy must learn to survive among zombies.
Beyond novels, Maberry has written extensively for Marvel Comics, including runs on Deadpool, The Punisher, and Captain America. He has also edited and contributed to dozens of anthologies, co-edited the V-Wars shared-world vampire series (adapted into a Netflix show), and written nonfiction about vampire folklore and pop culture horror.
