Deathmongers: Where the Light Dies is an anthology of death and survival, of grotesque horror and subtle creeping in the back of everyone's mind. Each author showcases his talent and art in stories that will not only shock you, but will take you into the dark corners of the earth. Reality molds with fiction and you will learn a very valuable lesson: life is short; death is an eternity.

The Death Jazz is a collection of poems and short stories clustered around the character of Joe Oroborus, a hapless 21st-Century everyman who works a regular job and dreams of being the All Being. Written over the course of five years, the book was conceived in the spirt of Surrealist revolt, Dadaist subversion and good old American ingenuity. Alex S. Johnson's influences cross an esoteric spectrum, from Arthur Rimbaud, Alfred Jarry, T.S. Eliot, Federico Garcia Lorca and Walt Whitman to Michael McLure, Philip Lamantia, Lydia Lunch, Henry Rollins, Charles Bukowski, Scandinavian heavy metal and gangsta rap.
