Over the past century or more, the genres of fantasy, horror, and
supernatural fiction have increasingly expanded beyond literature
and into an array of media-film, television, comic books, and art.
Many of the leading figures in the field engage in multimedia
enterprises that allow their work to reach a much wider public than
the mere readers of books. In Disorders of Magnitude: A Survey of
Dark Fantasy, Jason V Brock analyzes the intersection of
literature, media, and genre fiction in essays, reviews, and
pioneering interviews. Beginning with the pulp magazines of the
1920s, Brock studies such dynamic figures as H. P. Lovecraft,
Forrest J Ackerman, Harlan Ellison, and the Southern California
writers known collectively as "The Group"-Ray Bradbury, Charles
Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Rod Serling, and William F. Nolan. This
collection also includes filmmakers Roger Corman, George Romero,
and Dan O'Bannon, and such fantasy artists as H. R. Giger. Graced
with dozens of photographs from the author's personal collection,
this wide-ranging study offers a kaleidoscopic look at the
multifarious ways in which fantasy, horror, and the supernatural
have permeated our culture. Brock-himself a fiction writer, critic,
and filmmaker-concludes the book with touching eulogies to the
recently deceased Ray Bradbury and Ray Harryhausen. Highlighting so
many figures essential to the understanding of fantasy and horror,
Disorders of Magnitude will appeal to fans of these fiction genres
around the world.

" 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.
