Ravings of an Unsettled Mind

This first collection from storyteller J.A. Barrios takes themes that haunt us in everyday life - grief, loneliness, desire, addiction - and twists them into horrific nightmares.



We've all faced the challenge of accepting our own fate and releasing fear, but could you make the ultimate Acceptance? Nathan is a desperate child who makes an innocent wish to finally find a friend in The Well.



Vampires seem darkly glamorous to mortals; how might an eternity of loss affect these cursed creatures? This country is built on sacrifices and Reivaj Castillo is about to learn how much he has to give up in The Making of a Hero. The misfortunate Jarek yearns for his heart's desire... is that too much to ask?



These are but a few of the gothic tales of sorrow J.A. offers.



Welcome to the realm of an unsettled mind.
