Jeremy Robert Johnson Reviews


Jeremy Robert Johnson is amazing. He is one of the best authors I've ever read and a really nice guy. After having read three of Jeremy Robert Johnson's books, he has surpassed almost every other author on my favorites list. Which, until recently, had not changed in about seven years. He has gone above William S. Burroughs and Kurt Vonnegut. He has risen to the top, and he may very well stay there forever. He will be shelved among the greats. He is a literary genius. His words paint pictures that will make you laugh. They will make you cry. And they will make you want to tear your eyes out. And you will be glad you did, because you will know that the last thing you ever read was the pinnacle of literature.

We Live Inside You is a collection of short stories, some of which will make you want to crawl right out of your skin and watch from a distance. At once enthralling and grotesque. These stories will leave you wondering what is actually going on inside you. Just don't wonder too much late at night. You may not be able to sleep it off.

Angel Dust Apocalypse is another of Jeremy's collections. The imagery is sharp and beautiful. Some of these stories will leave you with a hole in your heart, others will leave you with a hole in your brain. Angel Dust Apocalypse is deeply original.

Extinction Journals is a Novella that is a continuation of The Sharp Dressed Man at the End of the Line, a short story from Angel Dust Apocalypse. The novella can stand alone, so The Sharp Dressed Man at the End of the Line does not need to be read first. Extinction Journals takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and the protagonist is a man named Dean who is wearing a suit made of live cockroaches.

Each of these books deserves five out of five stars, two thumbs up, and a large trophy. I can't wait to see what Skullcrack City has in store.
