FROM THE INSIDE
Novella, Black Hare Press, Coming February 2026
Paperback/Digital
Told with haunting intimacy and cinematic precision, From the Inside is a story of grief, isolation, and the thin membrane that separates the living from whatever watches us in the dark. Jacob Strunk’s slow-burn horror captures the fragile line between curiosity and terror, drawing the reader into a snow-choked world where even the ordinary hum of a house feels alive.

Short Story Collection, Alien Buddha Press, 2023
Paperback/Digital
“Undefinable and mysterious… Violence threads like blood through these stories.”
– Joan Connor; History Lessons, The Corner of East and Dreams
“Clean and sharp… Tarantino with the blood and anger, David Lynch with the throbbing psychosis, and Oscar Wilde with the mayhem and humanism.”
– Richard Horan; Goose Music, Seeds
