The AckerMonster Chronicles!
(Rondo Hatton Award-winning documentary created by Jason & Sunni Brock)
“Nothing gets lost in shuffle here. One seemingly disjointed thing connects with another. The elegant and the unsavory lay down together. Science fiction had, some say still has, a bad rap for having too close an association with pop culture and hanging out with other genres like, God forbid, horror. But we’ve come such a long way.

Yet, in each and every story and poem there is no doubt that you are in the hands of a master craftsman and all you can do is hang on until the ride is over…”

The Dark Sea Within: Tales & Poems
(Jason V Brock’s second story collection)
“And so it goes. From one page to the next, we are treated to watching a consummate artist perform with words, with images, with format and typography as he visits, re-visits, and transforms themes and images that have captured the imaginations of our times. Brock’s visions are frequently disturbing and discomfiting, often, difficult to grasp, but always worth the effort…”
