ABOUT JAY
In an unfeeling universe where the dark sturmwolken of misery and the winds of inevitable entropy loom, punctuated by the crash of thunder signifying the shocking reminders of our collective doom, Jay Smith emerges from the tumult. With eyes darkened and damaged by the vast, ruined landscapes of human misery, he the horrid truth behind your rictus grimace. His escapist audio fantasies HG World and Hidden Harbor Mysteries are balms to the wounded and distressed, tapestries woven with threads of existential dread and cosmic absurdity. In this chiaroscuro symphony, every word is a brushstroke, every sound a haunting melody that reverberates through the void. With a wit as delicious and painful as sugar-powdered glass and a mind as twisted as a demigod teething on a cosmic Möbius strip, Smith invites listeners to journey through the bloodied and blackened corridors of the human subconscious, where reality twists until there is nothing left but hope for a merciful afterworld.
Jay holds a Master of Fine Arts in Fiction Writing.
