JUNIPER LODGE

ADVANCE SOLICIT A dreamy and haunting collection of standalone tales where perception unravels, identity fractures, and reality bends—delivered with visionary style by Dustin Weaver. A twisted town in the Old West sacrifices one of its own every twelve hours at the demand of a demonic gun. A man finds his mind is trapped in the brain of an insect, and believes the normal world he sees is a delusion. An abandoned roadside motel is home to an entity that has captured the imagination of a passing comic book artist and is drawing him back. The Juniper Lodge is a self-contained collection of five stories from the pages of Dustin Weaver's anthology series PAKLIS. Unpredictable, idiosyncratic, and original, each story explores themes of perception, memory, and identity while expertly moving between genres with a dynamic style. The psychological and surreal become alluring through Weaver's engaging characters and vivid worlds, while never failing to get under the skin. Collects stories previously published in PAKLIS: #0,1,2,6,9.
