If you loved chasing the literal American Dream with Eli Teague and Harriet "Harry" Pritchard while dodging the tricorn‑hatted Faceless Men, you'll vibe with how 11/22/63 treats time as an opponent. Jake Epping steps into a portal to stop the JFK assassination, only to find the past itself "pushes back"—much like the way Eli and Harry learn there are costs and consequences to every jump. King's tour through Derry, Jodie, and Dallas layers in era‑specific detail, escalating close calls and moral knots the way Paradox Bound ratchets tension each time the Model A slips into another year.
You enjoyed how Eli and Harry lock onto a single mission—track down the stolen American Dream—while outrunning the Faceless Men. Dark Matter hits the same pedal‑down momentum. Jason Dessen is abducted into a multiverse where his life has been stolen by an alternate version of himself, and his drive to get back to Daniela and Charlie turns into a relentless, puzzle‑box chase. Like the road‑trip urgency of Paradox Bound, every choice slams you into the next set piece, with clear stakes and a goal that never lets up.
If the quick, wry back‑and‑forth between Eli and Harry kept you grinning even as tricorn‑hatted pursuers closed in, Crooked threads that same humor through a wild secret history. Here, Richard Nixon narrates his rise as an occult spy president battling eldritch conspiracies behind the Cold War. It's the same cocktail of quips‑under‑fire you got when Eli and Harry improvised their way out of historical scrapes—only now the jokes land amid spies, spells, and scandal.
You followed Eli and Harry down forgotten highways to places where history bends and the American Dream might be hiding. American Gods spins a similarly sweeping map: Shadow Moon and Mr. Wednesday road‑trip across diners, roadside attractions, and small towns where myth and memory pool. As with the historical waypoints in Paradox Bound, each stop reveals another layer of American identity—only here the past wears the faces of old and new gods vying for the soul of the country.
If you liked how Paradox Bound lets a Model A slip into the stream of history—kept hidden from everyday life and policed by the Faceless Men—The Anubis Gates delivers that same clandestine feel. Professor Brendan Doyle is yanked from modern London into 1810, where Egyptian sorcerers, conspirators, and the body‑hopping killer Dog‑Faced Joe turn time into a perilous back alley. The occult operates in the margins of the real world, and every rule‑breaking detour carries the kind of consequences Eli and Harry keep discovering on the run.
