J.E. Byron

About the Author
me_edited.jpg

       Jason Byron is a New England writer of dark fantasy, horror, humor, poetry, and occult & mystical philosophy. He is the author of two full-length novels, Blasphemy and Amalia, the humorous short story, The Truck, a poetry anthology, Book C: The Precipice of Nightmares, and a collection of his lyrical contributions to maudlin of the Well and Kayo Dot (1996-2025), Paeans in Hell.

      Byron grew up in Connecticut, but has since settled in Salem, Massachusetts, where he lives with his wife, Krista, artist and medium,  and their cat, Vinegar Tom. He is an avid procrastinator and considers himself more of a poet and dreamer than the down-to-earth and ambitious Cardinal Earth Sign he was born under.

        Blasphemy

On the "opalescent planet," Pharathe, an alcoholic mystic, a self-serving antiquarian and a psychopath pirate team up to cross the sea of clouds, called the Q'Sh, in search of treasure. While each one secretly plots the destruction of the others, and to keep whatever they find for themselves, what they eventually bring up ends up being nothing short of each villain's own personal hell.

Byron's first full-length novel, divided into two parts. This is volume 1.
