BOOKS
Infractus (Coffin Hop Press)
Abandoned as a newborn, a nameless boy roams the streets of Vancouver like a mouse, living by few rules, under the wing of a charismatic grifter, while a voice in his head whispers very bad things in the night. When a terrorist attack destroys the global balance of power, society bleeds into anarchy. For the mouse to survive, his rules have to change.
From the ashes of chaos, Panopticon rises, a shadow regime exercising control through surveillance, and the occasional act of erasure. The mouse – now a man – becomes an invisible assassin in their New World Order. It’s a dirty job, but for a nameless misanthrope with a terrible voice in his head, it’s just about perfect. At least, until he’s nearly decapitated by a strange woman with an even stranger proclamation of looming Armageddon. She offers him a choice: help her destroy Panopticon, or take a seat for the end of the world.
The voice in his head has been biding its time, armed with a secret as old as time, as old as the world itself. It waits to speak an ancient name that will invite a reckoning.
An edgy, subversive apocalypse tale that explores the depths of human existence and the heights of our collective fears.
"The writing left me breathless." ~ Nancy Kilpatrick, author of Revenge of the Vampir King
"...expertly crafted post-apocalyptic nightmare..." ~ P.J. Vernon, author of When You Find Me
Suicide Stitch: Eleven Stories (EMP Publishing)
Love is woven into the fabric of our lives. A force of nature that knits us together even as it tears us apart. Threads of hunger, passion, and pain run through this collection where the last Nephilim fights his gory cravings, a latchkey kid befriends a cage dancer, and a bizarre threat lurks in the shadows of a friendly neighborhood. Siblings turn monstrous and gods are brought to their knees in a dark literary patchwork that will drive you into the knot of your lover’s arms, knowing how easily you could unravel.
Check out some groovy reviews at Cemetery Dance, Beavis the Bookhead, and Nerds of a Feather.

“Intelligent, sexy, and strange…”

"The ease of Johnson’s style belies the grim subject matter she treats. In this respect, her work is reminiscent of some of Neil Gaiman’s, in which a pleasant surface gives way to substantial darkness, which continues to unfold in the reader’s mind after the story is done." ~ John Langan, for Locus Magazine.
