Praise

“With enthralling characters and tons of heart, this read (much like a good con) has something for everyone.”
—Bustle

“A perfect summer read for the Comic-Con crowd . . . Anybody up on superheroes and X-Files will have a lot to love here.”
—USA Today

“Comic-Con age’s definitive novel about a road trip through geek culture.”
—The Wall Street Journal, Speakeasy Podcast

“Anyone who is a geek or a parent of a geek should read this novel. In these interesting times . . . books like A Hundred Thousand Worlds are doing the work of navigating a new reality, where work, family, and adulthood are all being redefined.”
—Tor.com

“Who doesn’t like a good origin story? This delightful novel has a dozen of them, each sparking deftly off the next. A work of wit and heart, A Hundred Thousand Worlds is for anyone who craves a smart family saga. Especially one with superheroes. I loved it completely.” 
—Karen Joy Fowler, Booker Prize finalist and author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

“Proehl creates worlds within worlds within worlds, all of them full of surprise and wonder. One of the best novels I have read in a while.” 
—Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

“For all its acrobatic wit and outsize charm, at its heart this is the love story of two everyday heroes—a mother and a son—who, like their author, possess the superpower of storytelling. A Kavalier & Clay for the Comic-Con age, A Hundred Thousand Worlds is a bighearted, inventive, exuberant debut.” 
—Eleanor Henderson, author of Ten Thousand Saints
