New Hampshire Fall (In The October Fall World)

by Phineas Strange · July 2023

You may know me as Phineas Strange — but I also write under the name Michael McDonald. My wife writes as Karen McDonald. The Fall Series is a collection of post-apocalyptic fiction set within the October Fall World. Four standalone series, twelve books in total, that can be read in any order you choose. Whether you start in Indiana, Boston, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts, you'll find yourself dropped into a world forever changed, following ordinary people navigating extraordinary circumstances. Each series is its own story, its own community, its own fight to survive. But they all share the same broken world — and the same belief that even in the darkest of times, people find ways to endure. If stories about resilience, survival, and the stubborn persistence of hope speak to you, I think you'll feel right at home here. If you enjoy these twelve books, I'd also encourage you to explore the entire In The October Fall World series — multiple authors, multiple stories, all centered around one cataclysmic event. It's a shared universe unlike anything else in post-apocalyptic fiction. Available from Raventhorne Books on Amazon.

About New Hampshire Fall (In The October Fall World)

New Hampshire Fall is a story of family, faith, hope, and love in a post-apocalyptic world. The Barrette family is an average, middle-class family with strong family and Christian values. When the world was safe, faith was easy. In the blink of an eye, the world changes. Everything familiar is gone in an instant and uncertainty and insecurity are the new norm, challenging their faith and thrusting them into survival mode. How will they respond when their faith and resourcefulness are put to the harshest tests? Join Rebecca and her friend Raven on their journey to get home as instructed in the event that the SHTF. But of course, nothing is ever that easy, and when things don’t quite go according to plan, her family members begin to question the goodness of God and their own ability to survive in a world that is rapidly falling to pieces.

Phineas Strange

Phineas Strange and Michael McDonald are both pen names for the same New England author. Phineas Strange has a lifelong fascination with the unexplained, the true, and the weird. He writes A Curious Compendium of Strange Events, which explores documented supernatural phenomena with the eye of a skeptic and the heart of a true believer, and Stone Walls & Steeples, a true crime series that brings forgotten New England victims back into the light — one region, one era, one state at a time. Michael McDonald and Karen McDonald write post-apocalyptic fiction set within the October Fall World — four standalone series, twelve books in total. The author grew up in the Midwest, met his New England born wife while she was in college and they transplanted to New England. They also lived overseas for twelve years — which explains a lot.
