  THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WORLD

  The preponderance of my work deals with a history of the world that remains undiscovered, unexplored, and unknown to most of humanity. Some of this secret history has been revealed in the Adversary Cycle, some in the Repairman Jack novels, and bits and pieces in other, seemingly unconnected works. Taken together, even these millions of words barely scratch the surface of what has been going on behind the scenes, hidden from the workaday world. I've listed them below in chronological order. (NB: "Year Zero" is the end of civilization as we know it; "Year Zero Minus One" is the year preceding it, etc.)

  The Past:

  "Demonsong" (prehistory)

  "Aryans and Absinthe" (1923-1924)**

  Black Wind (1926-1945)

  The Keep (1941)

  Reborn (February-March 1968)

  "Dat Tay Vao" (March 1968)***

  Jack: Secret Histories (1983)

  Jack: Secret Circles (1983)

  Jack: Secret Vengeance (1983)

  “Faces” (1989)*

  Year Zero Minus Three:

  Sibs (February)

  The Tomb (summer)

  "The Barrens" (ends in September)*

  "A Day in the Life" (October)*

  "The Long Way Home"

  Legacies (December)

  Year Zero Minus Two:

  "Interlude at Duane’s" (April)**

  Conspiracies (April) (includes "Home Repairs")

  All The Rage (May) (includes "The Last Rakosh")

  Hosts (June)

  The Haunted Air (August)

  Gateways (September)

  Crisscross (November)

  Infernal (December)

  Year Zero Minus One:

  Harbingers (January)

  Bloodline (April)

  By the Sword (May)

  Ground Zero (July)

  The Touch (ends in August)

  "Tenants"*

  The Peabody-Ozymandias Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium

  Year Zero:

  "Pelts"*

  Reprisal (ends in February)

  Fatal Error (February) (includes "The Wringer")

  The Dark at the End (March)

  Nightworld (May)

  Reprisal will be back in print by the end of 2011. I’m planning a total of fifteen Repairman Jack novels (not counting the young adult titles), ending the Secret History with the publication of a heavily revised Nightworld.
