what is it.

the Jack Fell diaries are fragments of a hybrid stranger than truth novel in serial form about a schizophrenic junkie paramedic lost in a paranormally unstable psych hospital called Fort Pillow where the shadow people are real and reality shifts without warning into false memory into dream worlds and alternate timelines and closed narrative loops. Quantum realms and temporal gravity wells and such. This stack will feature excerpts from the diaries dropped like breadcrumbs in the dark along with excerpts from Godspeed and unpublished short stories plus director’s cut style deleted scenes from the phineas and Jude books. glimpses into emergency horse the as yet unfinished but still blooming 4th phineas book. Also various nonfiction or frankenfiction jaunts through the lens of the psych underworld. I’m calling it Involuntary. Welcome to my hole in the cloud. If this is your visit, I recommend dipping first into the posts eleven year loop and Jack Fell. These go into rather more depth explaining what I’m getting up to here. Where I’m coming from and where I’ve been. After that you’re on your own. The essays aren’t time sensitive and the Jack Fell diaries are numbered but nonlinear in nature. If any of the above speaks to you or touches a nerve please consider signing up as a subscriber. The essays on mental health addiction and general societal decay will remain free to all for the unknowable future. The diaries and never seen fictions will likely slip behind a paywall at some point. My hope is to make this a full time endeavor and run like hell to avoid ever going back to work in psych. May the trickster gods bless you all.

peace.
