Jeschonek, Robert T
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1965- ) US comics author and author who began publishing work of genre interest with "A Wall of Lisas" in Backroads for 1983, much of his later shorter work being published as individual ebooks, many of them spoofs, or at least exaggerated iterations, of familiar Superhero tales, a representative sampling being assembled as 6 Superhero Stories (coll 2012 ebook). The Trek sequence – beginning with Trek This! (2010 ebook) and comprising various kinds of work, including Parodies and some nonfiction, all seven titles being assembled as Trek It! (omni 2011 ebook) – is of moderate interest. Some of this material appears in Mad Scientist Meets Cannibal (coll 2008 chap).
Jeschonek's first novel, My Favorite Band Does Not Exist (2011), is a Young Adult Urban Fantasy [see The Encyclopedia of Fantasy under links below]. Day 9 (2011) is an End of the World thriller, the day in question representing Homo sapiens's last chance. Tannhäuser: Rising Sun, Falling Shadows (2012) is a Tie to the Board Game Tannhäuser set in World War One. In Undercrowd (2013), again marketed for Young Adults, a teenaged girl haunted by a cyberstalker joins an underground anti-bullying vigilante group; difficult decisions must be made. Jeschonek's style is vigorous but with effects tending to the simplistic. A proper sorting of his very large output may reveal some considered work. [JC]
