Markley's first novel Ohio (2018) takes place during a single evening. [4] His second novel The Deluge (2023) is a dystopian epic about climate change spanning the years 2013 through to the 2030s. [4] [5] The New York Times review said of it that the "dystopia is realistic and nuanced, grim but playful, setting Markley’s book apart from the tsunami of recent climate-change literature." [6] The New York Times named The Deluge one of the 100 Notable Books of 2023. [7]

Markley is reportedly working on an adaptation of Ohio for an HBO series to be produced by Sam Levinson. [8]
