-Biography-

      Jeremy Robert Johnson is a novelist and the author of a multitude of acclaimed short stories. His writing has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize (three times- 2000, 02’ & ’06), the Needle Award, and the Bram Stoker Award.

      Jeremy’s fiction covers a broad spectrum of literary and genre material, and at times pushes the outer boundaries of both style and content, while never forgetting the heart of the story. Characters you can care about. Ideas that astound. Images that become indelible.

You could call his work Bizarro. You would not be wrong.

     He is currently at work on two novels, Tuning Fork & Skullcrack City, and is also busy promoting the Stoker Nominated novel Siren Promised and the apocalyptic road trip novella Extinction Journals. He is also the author of the 2004 Eraserhead Press Book Contest-winning Angel Dust Apocalypse, a Bizarro cult hit which has garnered excellent critical reviews.

      (Jeremy is writing these things about himself in third person, and feeling highly self-conscious about the level of ego on display, although he knows this kind of marketing is ultimately beneficial. He is further dismayed at his present attempt at winking postmodernism, which he normally thinks is sort of hokey.)

      So, enough with the propaganda. He is me.

I’m Jeremy, and I live and write in Portland, Oregon. I was born on September 21, 1977, exactly thirty years after Stephen King, and according to the delivering doctor I was an ugly baby with an elongated cone-skull that would’ve been great for holding a top hat in place during high winds. I smell fantastic (you’ll have to take my word on this), and tend to wear clothes.

The real point here is that I’d like to tell you some stories.

      I’m good at this. I promise. You’ll be entertained.

      And, as the old men selling fermented Kool-Aid used to say from their porch rockers,

      Thank you for your support.
