Portrait of Benjamin Percy

Benjamin Percy is an acclaimed American novelist, short story writer, and comic book author known for his darkly lyrical style and razor-sharp storytelling. His fiction often fuses literary craft with the pulse of genre writing, exploring transformation, survival, and the untamed edges of human nature. Readers are drawn to his ability to balance visceral tension with emotional depth, creating worlds that feel both mythic and immediate.

Across novels, short stories, and acclaimed runs for major comic publishers, Percy demonstrates a fascination with the blurred lines between heroism and monstrosity. His work is marked by cinematic pacing, rich atmosphere, and a voice that carries the weight of folklore into the modern day. Whether set in the wilderness or the city, his stories challenge readers to confront what lies beneath the surface of ordinary life.

    Book SynopsisBenjamin Percy is a versatile and propulsive storyteller whose genre-busting novels and story collections have ranged from literary to thriller to postapocalyptic. In his essay collection, Thrill Me, he laid bare for readers how and why he channels disparate influences in his work. Now, in his first story collection since the acclaimed Refresh, Refresh, Percy brings his page-turning skills to bear in Suicide Woods, a potent brew of horror, crime, and weird happenings in the woods. A boy in his uncle’s care falls through the ice on a pond and emerges in a frozen, uncanny state. A group of people in therapy for suicidal ideation undergoes a drastic session in the woods with fatal consequences. A body found on a train and a blood-soaked carpet in an empty house are clues to a puzzling crime in a small town. And in a pulse-quickening novella, thrill seekers on a mapping expedition into the “Bermuda Triangle” of remote Alaska are stranded on a sinister island that seems to want them dead. In story after story, which have appeared in magazines including the Virginia Quarterly Review, Orion Magazine, McSweeney’s, and Ploughshares, Percy delivers haunting and chilling narratives that will have readers hanging on every word. A master class in suspense and horror, Suicide Woods is a dark, inventive collection packed to the gills with eerie, can’t-miss tales.
