Chuck Wendig best books, ranked
Chuck Wendig — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 2015 and 2021. They average 7.4, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.
Editor’s note American writer of horror, thrillers and science fiction with a punchy, profane style. Aftermath, his Star Wars novel set just after Return of the Jedi, is his most read book and one of the lowest rated popular books here, divisive for its present-tense style. His own novels do much better: Wanderers, an epic about a mysterious epidemic of sleepwalkers crossing America, rates highest, and The Book of Accidents and The Staircase in the Woods are dark, emotional horror. Start with Wanderers.
