The Scholar of Moab
Winner of AML Best Novel of 2011 & Montaigne Medal Finalist
The Scholar of Moab is a hilarious, otherworldly, beautifully strange, and strangely familiar novel, like nothing I have ever read before. In my fruitless search for an adequate comparison, I could only say it's philosophy meets satire meets poetry meets cosmology meets absurdity. For all of its indirectness and fantastical wit, it conveys a seriousness of tone about life in a small western town and about the strangeness of human existence with more humanity, humor, and wonder than most anything else in print. It had no right to survive its outsize ambition, but it does, wonderfully. Read it and maybe you will know what I mean."
George Handley Author of Home Waters

A Short Stay in Hell
Profound and disturbing, A Short Stay In Hell is a perfect blend of science fiction, theology, and horror. A terrifying meditation on faith, human nature, and the relentless scope of eternity. It will haunt you, fittingly, for a very, very long time. ---- Dan Wells, author of Partials and I Am Not a Serial Killer
The Rifts of Rime
"The message behind this story is quite powerful and very smart. Steven Peck is very creative, and writes a tale that I feel most middle school students could relate to on some level. In sharing some of the story with my students, many perked up and were asking questions - I think it would make an awesome read-aloud, not only to middle grade students, but to upper elementary as well." Sara Kovach's Reviews
