ANGEL DUST APOCALYPSE IS here!!! (May ’05)

 

“A dazzling writer. Seriously amazing short stories- and I love short stories. Like the best of Tobias Wolff. While I read them, they made time stand still. That's great.”

 

— Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club, Choke and Haunted

          Meth-heads, man-made monsters, and murderous Neo-Nazis.  Blissed out club kids dying at the speed of sound.  The un-dead and the very soon-to-be-dead.  They’re all here, trying to claw their way free.

        From the radioactive streets of a war-scarred future, where the nuclear bombs have become self-aware, to the fallow fields of Nebraska where the kids are mainlining lightning bugs, this is a world both alien and intensely human.  This is a place where self-discovery involves scalpels and horse tranquilizers; where the doctors are more doped-up than the patients; where obsessive-compulsive acid-freaks have unlocked the gateway to God and can’t close the door.

        This is not a safe place.  You can turn back now, or you can head straight into the heart of…

 

the Angel Dust Apocalypse

“Admirably devious, laugh-out-loud sick, and shockingly smart…,”  Angel Dust Apocalypse hits the reader in the gut and goes to work…”  For more great Angel Dust Apocalypse acclaim and press from Alan M. Clark, Michael A. Arnzen, John Edward Lawson, Verbicide, Dark Discoveries, Bookgasm, POD-dy Mouth, Pense-O-Matic, Horror-Web, and Razorcake, click here.



SIREN PROMISED IS NOW AVAILABLE!!! (June ’05)

"Using Alan M. Clark's gorgeously dark fantastique artwork to springboard the lush, compelling, often raw storyline forward, Johnson and Clark have created a unique literary atmosphere full of dread and wonder. This is a synergistic fusion of major talents that seethes with the black, beautiful energy of nightmares made real."

—Tom Piccirilli, author of Headstone City and A Choir of Ill Children

        Angie Smith and Curtis Loew are having dreams they can’t shake. At the heart of each is Angie’s daughter, Kaya. Angie’s dreams end in death, the spreading of hand-shaped bruises across her daughter’s throat. Curtis’ dreams end in something else, something closer to obsession than love.
        Angie is worlds away, trying to keep her drug-shattered mind from falling apart, traveling through an American underbelly filled with inhuman shapes, dark whispers and old friends with empty eyes.
        Curtis is Kaya’s new neighbor. He’s getting closer to her, and her mentally unstable grandmother, Colleen. He’s had families before, but he’d always made mistakes. Mistakes that led to new names, new towns. But this one time, he swears, things will all work out. He’s got so much love to give.

EXTINCTION JOURNALS IS NOW AVAILABLE!!! (May’06)

“DUCK AND COVER, BITCHES! Jeremy Robert Johnson answers the call to glory with his intimately insectoid mini-epic of apocalypse, Extinction Journals: a trip far weirder and more fucked up than it has any right to be. Just like these times.”

        You can survive a nuclear blast.

 

        All you need is some luck, and maybe a customized business suit coated in cockroaches.  It could work.  At least that’s what Dean believed before the bombs actually dropped and his suit led him to murder a Very Important Man at the foot of a blackened obelisk.

 

        Now D.C. is looking awfully empty.  Life on Earth is pretty much coming to an end.  All of which leaves Dean with a single question-“What now?”  The answer to that question will take him on an uncanny voyage across a newly nuclear America where he must confront the problems associated with loneliness, radiation, love, and an ever-evolving cockroach suit with a mind of its own.

 

        Dean’s bizarre adventures mark the last chronicle of human existence, the final entries in our species’ own…

 

Extinction Journals

 

Extinction Journals is like a Twilight Zone episode made without Standards & Practices telling Serling he couldn't feature any human/insect love scenes.  Move over Chris Genoa- there's a new sexy genius in town.”

— Chris Genoa, author of Foop!

 

“Johnson swirls just enough lucidity and knowing, zombie-Vonnegut hilarity into his bizarro fable of mutually assured delirium to make me question my own sanity. Until science finds a cure for whatever ails this boy, we can only hope to bask in the cool plutonium glow of his weaponized mind... and start collecting cockroaches.”


— Cody Goodfellow, author of Radiant Dawn and Ravenous Dusk

TEL: Stories

 "Elegant, erudite and strange, TEL:Stories is a remarkable anthology, containing much to enchant, perplex and terrify."

Liz Williams, author of Snake Agent

“In some cases, the style is challenging enough that the reader is likely to experience an ‘A-ha’ moment when, well into the story, the style's role in the fiction as a whole is suddenly understood. Jeremy Robert Johnson’s ‘Last Thoughts Drifting Down,’ exemplifies this approach, gradually revealing the narrator's identity to powerful effect.”

Rudi Dornemann for Rain Taxi
