and critically acclaimed Literary Horror author
Jennifer Anne Gordon
Released and published

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 seem 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 love
stories. Dogs, and drama.
Nightmares, and nevermore.

The precision of observation here speaks not only to the honesty of the writer, but to the respect granted in all phases of life; Jennifer Anne Gordon is on full display. Smart, full of character, vibrant. You will feel, you will feel big, and you will return, too, to the richest moments of your own history, landmarks that bring you to both smile and weep. -Josh Malerman New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box and Daphne
I compulsively read anything Jennifer Anne Gordon writes. Like
the best contemporary filmmakers stitching together grief and horror, her
storytelling is a sharp needle that both pierces and tugs us close. Compulsive
and genre-slashing, with exquisite, rhythmic prose, THE JAPANESE BOX is an extraordinary
exploration of alone-ness that beats and breathes: grief is horror, grief is
love. We as readers are drawn ever closer to this beautifully haunted narrator
until we're face-down in the box with her. Does she feel us? She thinks she is
alone. We all think we are alone. By the end we've become the ghosts in her black
room, reaching out to gently touch her hair and whisper we're here.-Diane
Zinna, author of The All-Night Sun
