Drew Hayes writes humorous fantasy and superhero fiction built around large casts, escalating abilities and characters learning how complicated apparently simple powers can become. Super Powereds begins with college students whose unstable abilities have been medically altered, sending them through a secret university programme that trains future superheroes. The Fred, the Vampire Accountant series follows a mild accountant whose undeath brings him into supernatural bureaucracy and increasingly strange friendships, while NPCs turns tabletop fantasy conventions inside out through non-player characters who become adventurers.
