" Brock] takes characters and situations into places I would never
have thought of . . ."-Richard Matheson
Jason V Brock is one of the most dynamic young writers of weird and
science fiction, and this first collection of his short fiction
reveals the wide diversity of his talents and the gripping power
and intensity of his conceptions. Among these sixteen stories are
such masterworks as "P.O.V.," a multilayered narrative about a
grisly murder; "The History of a Letter," an ingenious riff on the
iconic figure of H. P. Lovecraft; "Milton's Children," an expansive
novella that hints of unthinkable horrors in the Antarctic; and
"Simulacrum," a scintillating science fiction novella that evokes
the shade of Philip K. Dick. Also included are thirteen of Brock's
evocative poems. With a foreword by William F. Nolan and an
introduction by James Robert Smith.
Jason V Brock has been widely published in magazines, comics, and
anthologies such as "Butcher Knives & Body Counts," "Animal
Magnetism," "Fangoria," the "Weird Fiction Review," S. T. Joshi's
"Black Wings" anthology series, "Like Water for Quarks," and many
others.

A remote Florida swamp has been targeted for theme-park
development, and the swamp's inhabitants are none too happy. It
doesn't help that the residents are a colony of intelligent,
prehistoric, dinosaur-like birds. This flock of beasts, relying on
stealth, cunning, and killer instinct survived the mass extinction
that killed off the dinosaurs, and have been living in secret, just
outside our civilized world. The developers hire mercenaries to
exterminate the flock, and a billionaire rogue environmentalist has
his own plans for these rare, predatory creatures. A naive young
Fish and Wildlife officer caught between these two incredibly
powerful forces may find out the hard way that man is the most
dangerous predator of them all..."The Flock" is a contemporary
eco-thriller about what can happen when man violates nature, and
nature fights back.
