Ben H. Winters’s standalone novels cover a wide range of genres and tones. His early work includes literary mashups like Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and Android Karenina, which insert science fiction and horror elements into classic novels. He also wrote The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman and The Mystery of the Missing Everything, both aimed at younger readers.
His later standalones moved into more serious territory. Underground Airlines imagines a present-day United States where slavery still exists in four states. Golden State is set in a society that has outlawed lying. The Quiet Boy, Big Time, and Stranger continue his habit of blending genres, mixing courtroom drama, time travel, and psychological suspense in unexpected ways.
