Books by DJ Butler

Shelf of science fiction books by D.J. Butler, including 'Serpent in the Star' and 'The Trumpeting Man'.

D.J. Butler’s books blend fantasy, alternate history, folklore, theology, and adventure into worlds that feel both deeply researched and wildly unexpected. From the reimagined American past of the Witchy War series to his other tales of magic, mystery, and myth, Butler builds stories full of strange histories, memorable characters, dangerous ideas, and the sense that the world is much larger—and much weirder—than it first appears.

“A brilliant blend of historical acumen and imagination.”
— David Farland
