The Japanese Box horror novel is the newest collection for Jennifer. A SYNOPSIS ABOUT THE BOOK: Simulacrum is a dark comedic tale about college life and love. It is the story of what happens when two sociopaths attend art exhibits, drink lemon vodka, and spar over everything and anything. Periods. Coloring books. Art. This is the story of our unnamed narrator... an origin story of a would-be, hopes to be, serial killer. The Japanese Box is a story that blends memoir, creative nonfiction, and the horror of a coming-of age story, and a coming of middle-aged story. Imagine growing up with a reflection that is often absent and a Japanese box that is filled with things that should never have been there. Memories. Violence. The Japanese Box is a love letter to anxiety, trauma, grief, and longing. It is a story of a child becoming an adult and all the ghosts and misfortunes that happen in order to survive. The Lithium Moon: Simone is an artist by day and an emotionally abused wife at night. She is a successful artist with a long history of schizoid effective disorder with bipolar tendencies. When her marriage goes from good to bad, she suffers her first miscarriage. The tragedy coincides with a wolf moon-trauma, and magic converge seems to converge in Simone's head. This story explores sadness, illness, hallucinations, full moons, and the creative process. What stage of grief is not a poem, or a song, but a dirge. Fantasy and facts, this poem walks a fine line between nightmares and memories. Grief stories and lovestories. Dogs and drama. Nightmares, and nevermore.

David Rose spent his twenties armed in three different countries; thus bearing witness to every form of human depravity, draconian law, and unabated violence--now profitably converted into fiction. He holds a Master of Science in Philosophy of the Social Sciences from the London School of Economics and Political Science. 'Mulgara' is his latest novel will be released May 2019. John F.D. Taff is the author of more than 100 published short stories and six novels. His short story collection 'Little Deaths' was named the best horror fiction collection of 2012 by HorrorTalk. His collection of novellas, 'The End in All Beginnings', was published in 2014. Jack Ketchum called it “the best novella collection I’ve read in years,” and it was a finalist for a Bram Stoker Award® for Superior Achievement in a Fiction Collection. His short story "A Winter's Tale" was a finalist for Superior Achievement in Short Fiction in this year's Stoker Awards. His fiction has appeared most recently in 'Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories', 'Behold: Oddities, Curiosities and Undefinable Wonders, Shadows Over Main Street 2', and his latest short story collection 'Little Black Spots'. His epic novel 'The Fearing' will be released in 2019 by Grey Matter Press. Josh Malerman said “The Fearing isn’t only John Taff ’s best work to date, it’s the kind you put on the shelf reserved for the ones that really did something to you, emotionally, intellectually, physically.” He lives in the wilds of Illinois with one wife, two cats and three pugs.
