Cody Poston

Cody Poston writes fiction from the bright edge of the absurd—stories where cosmic creatures file HR complaints, ancient gods bicker over corner offices, and Godzilla gets recruited by a Girl Scout troop only to immediately violate HOA landscaping rules. His work blends satire, wonder, and surreal world-building with the grounded warmth of characters who are simply trying to make sense of a universe that keeps getting stranger.

As the author of the Dystopocon series, Cody moves fluidly between tones: from bureaucratic cosmic horror to soft, heartfelt adventures; from eldritch beings navigating workplace etiquette to three teenagers solving a prairie-roaming dinosaur mystery in rural Kansas. His stories are heavily influenced by pop culture—like Pokémon creatures in therapy or Barbie navigating a midlife crisis—and by real life, where ordinary people stumble into extraordinary situations that are funny, painful, and quietly transformative.

Cody’s fiction celebrates humanity in the middle of chaos. Whether it’s a romance unfolding at a fake Bigfoot convention or an annual performance review complicated by a magical eight-foot cosmic eel comparing your progress to every alternate version of yourself, his work finds humor, heart, and meaning in the strange places where reality cracks open just enough to let the impossible slip through.
