description: For more than a decade Jeremy Robert Johnson has been bubbling under the surface of both literary and genre fiction. His short stories present a brilliantly dark and audaciously weird realm where cosmic nightmares collide with all-too-human characters and apocalypses of all shapes and sizes loom ominously. In Persistence Hunting a lonely distance runner is seduced into a brutal life of crime with an ever-narrowing path for escape. In When Susurrus Stirs an unlucky pacifist must stop a horrifying parasite from turning his body into a sentient hive. Running through all of Johnsons work is a hallucinatory vision and deeply-felt empathy earning the author a reputation as one of todays most daring and thrilling writers.Featuring the best of his previously independently-published short fiction as well as an exclusive never-before-published novella The Sleep of Judgeswhere a fathers fight against the denizens of a drug den becomes a mind-bending suburban nightmareEntropy in Bloom is a perfect compendium for avid fans and an ideal entry point for adventurous readers seeking the humor heartbreak and terror of JRJs strange new worlds.
