Two literary legends. A houseful of terrible guests. Several centuries of bad publicity. Frankenstein: A Memoir (Sort Of) and Dracula: A Memoir (More or Less) bring together two comic reinventions of literary immortality. The books became classics. The people involved would like a word.
Coming Sept. 11th. In KINGDOM OF DIRT, Detective Sam Sampson travels to rural Georgia after his niece, Wanda Jackson, disappears from the small town of Haven’s Creek. In SHOW ME THE DEVIL, Micah Holloway returns to Ashford after the suspicious death of his younger brother, DeShawn.
A very generous review for my novel, The Girl With Rain in Her Pockets.
THE WORK OF THREE Based on the true story of Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen, and Freddie Oversteegen, The Work of Three is a powerful historical novel about courage without glory, violence without illusion, and three young women who fought an occupation determined to erase them.
Dead and irritated, Calchas explains the Trojan War and Odysseus’ long trip home. The Iliad and The Odyssey But Funnier is a comic retelling of Greek myth narrated by a dead prophet who warned everyone, watched them ignore him, and has eternity to complain about it. www.amazon.com/ILIAD-ODYSSE...
SURPRISE BOOK RELEASE I love Wuthering Heights. I just don’t think it’s a romance. It’s obsession. Revenge. Class resentment. Two feral people emotionally detonating Yorkshire. So I rewrote it. Withering Heights (Wuthering Heights but funnier) www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKY9T2J3
Withering Heights (Wuthering Heights but Funny)
WITHERING HEIGHTS A Deeply Unfaithful (but Loving) Retelling of a Gothic Classic Welcome to the moors, where the wind howls, the emotions run at full volume, and everyone’s idea of love involves drama...

A small, non-urgent author favor: If you’ve read one of my books and enjoyed it, a brief review on Amazon or Goodreads helps more than ads or shouting. Even a sentence keeps indie books from quietly vanishing. Thanks for reading. www.amazon.com/stores/TJ-Bu...

Advanced review: Two of history’s most infamous names. One true monster. One legend built to look like one. In this paired historical novel, TJ Buck revisits the trials of Gilles de Rais and Elizabeth Báthory, not to sensationalize them, but to examine how guilt and myth are created.
According to Amazon, my novel The Sea Still Sings is the best selling punk rock novel in the world. Every book above it on the list is non-fiction.
The Girl Who Walked Out of Time: In 1985, eighteen-year-old Lena Carbone took a walk in the woods. She never came back. Forty years later, Lena steps out of the woods, unchanged. Blackthorne: A town that shouldn't exist. A sister who shouldn’t be alive. A name carved in stone.
Where the Water Holds Weight: Claire returns to Blackwater Lake and the three sisters who rule beneath it: Selene, Lilith, and Celeste. Mother Bone: In 1884, a freed woman and healer accused of witchcraft, erased from the records, and set ablaze. No trial, no grave, only whispers of her name.
