The Trickster series follows Jared Martin, a teenager living in Kitimat, British Columbia, who deals with a chaotic home life, substance abuse, and the growing realization that the supernatural figures from Haisla mythology are real and interested in him. Son of a Trickster (2017) introduces Jared’s world, where making ecstasy-laced cookies for his mom’s boyfriend is just another Tuesday, and shape-shifting ape men might be lurking nearby.
Trickster Drift (2018) sends Jared to Vancouver for a fresh start, but the supernatural elements of his life follow him. Return of the Trickster (2021) brings the story to its conclusion as Jared must finally face the full weight of his connection to the trickster figure Wee’git. Robinson’s writing in this series balances dark humor with genuine dread, and the mythological elements never feel separate from the gritty reality of Jared’s everyday life.
