A dystopian novel series set in post-nuclear Canada
New Brunswick's fault lines run between land and sea, rivers and forest. Post-apocalyptic fiction here plays out at the scale of towns and shorelines, where adaptation decides who stays.
Haida Gwaii is more than scenery: an archipelago of 150 islands where Haida history runs thirteen thousand years deep. A setting where the forest and the sea were already old before any collapse.
In Nova Scotia, collapse rearranges society along the coast. Maritime storms, tides, and fragile supply lines compress survival into fishing villages and forested interior towns.
We thought editing The Drift would be easy. It wasn't - even our favourite Warriors of the Last Days novel fought back. A look at the long road through the series' third book.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, collapse concentrates rather than scatters. Weather-beaten outport communities, sea routes, and fragile local systems make isolation the baseline condition.
Thirty-three novels are written or planned and the pace is holding - so how does an unknown author actually become discoverable? An honest look at the problem behind the books.
In Nunavut, the question isn't how to rebuild civilization - the people on the land never left. When southern systems disappear, survival knowledge that predates them stays.
A Christmas novel set in Yukon thirty years after the apocalypse: a proton-heavy aurora wakes frozen pioneers who crave heat, not brains. The teaser trailer sells it with still images and sound alone.
The Northwest Territories runs on winter roads and air lifts across hundreds of kilometres. When those fragile systems fail, breakdown isn't a distant scenario - it's immediate.
The paper versions of The Refusal took far longer than expected. Spine math, PDF standards that shift by printer, and proof reviews - what publishing a paperback actually involves.
A dystopian novel series set in post-nuclear Canada
Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
