JUNIPER LODGE HC (MR) (20 May Release)

ADVANCE SOLICIT A dreamy and haunting collection of standalone tales where perception unravels¸ identity fractures¸ and reality bends—delivered with visionary style by Dustin Weaver. A twisted town in the Old West sacrifices one of its own every twelve hours at the demand of a demonic gun. A man finds his mind is trapped in the brain of an insect¸ and believes the normal world he sees is a delusion. An abandoned roadside motel is home to an entity that has captured the imagination of a passing comic book artist and is drawing him back. The Juniper Lodge is a self-contained collection of five stories from the pages of Dustin Weaver's anthology series PAKLIS. Unpredictable¸ idiosyncratic¸ and original¸ each story explores themes of perception¸ memory¸ and identity while expertly moving between genres with a dynamic style. The psychological and surreal become alluring through Weaver's engaging characters and vivid worlds¸ while never failing to get under the skin. Collects stories previously published in PAKLIS: #0¸1¸2¸6¸9.
