[Recollé] Blibliography

[flyguy]

A sampling of works from Tony's bibliography. Won't be everything because he's hella shit publishing prolific, but to give folks an idea of what he's put out there. I WILL COME BACK LATER AND TRY TO FILL THIS OUT SOME. But for now just putting in books that come up as I tag people.

Coby in the City of Statues

Summary: YA novel about an orphan living with his verbally abusive, uncaring aunt and uncle who accidentally enters another world. In the city he finds himself in he is alone save a cute animal sidekick and statues. So many statues. As he travels in search of an another living human he begins to learn how to tell more and more about the frozen people by picking up on details in their clothes, in where in the city they're situated and other Sherlockian details. Eventually he comes to understand them so well he discovers he has a power: when he looks at them he can see a single sentence floating above their head describing their relation with someone else. By following these clues he's eventually lead to journals, video recordings and secret areas of the city that reveal an experiment to make the perfect human to become their infallible mayor. Instead what was created was the deadly... Medusa. Why I have so much detail for this none of us will ever know, but that's the sitch.

Kathy Knopes and the Herd of Tomorrow

Summary: Idk something about horses disappearing and no one remembering they ever existed. Kid's book, won a Newberry. There were probably biomechanical horses featured in there somewhere and idk setting was maybe Minnesota of the future. I don't know things about horses don't look at me.

Lights in the Dark

Summary: A series of novels about the last survivors of Earth in a world torn asunder for decades by aliens that are in the last stages of their invasion to harvest Earth for resources. Very dystopian and mature in themes. It's praised for it's gruesome and visceral depictions of endtimes and what fear can do to the human disposition. Ends on something of a Lady or the Tiger downer what you think K.A. Applegate can get away with that shit and Tony Carter can't? Au contraire.

Sunset at the Lakehouse

Summary: Some sort of trashy romance novel from early in Tony's career. I will leave the description on this one to Chloe: "I actually thought the inter-relationship elements in that one were interesting, though you got better at pacing that sort of thing later on. It's still much better writing than a lot of the romantic novels I read in my spare time."

There's another book that came up in a thread with someone, but I can't remember it. If this was you let me know!! Otherwise he generally writes a bit of everything and even has a non-fiction book or two out. YA, trashy romance and mature sci-fi are his main domains though.
