Kris Saknussemm

Kris Saknussemm is the author of Zanesville, the first in a series of books called The Lodemania Testament. Described as a "techno-theological post-American monster vaudeville," Zanesville opens in a futuristic Central Park, where the protagonist awakens with no idea of who he is or how he got there. Taken in by freedom fighters and given the name, Elijah Clearfather, he embarks on a journey to discover his identity and his role in this America-gone-wrong: Messiah, reincarnated ex-porn star, futuristic bioweapon, or revolutionary.
