The Orthodoxy of Arrogance is a fictional account of historical events and the subsequent personal and familial conflicts they can create. The main character, Mordichai Lebenschitz, is a moyl from Dachau, Germany. As the Nazi regime rises, he changes his name to the more German Moritz. He is pompous, self-centered, and oblivious to the world and its proposed effects on him. He is charming, manipulative and self-indulgent. He and his wife Hannah elude the Nazis from 1941-1944 in the city of Dachau. My novel suggests possible scenarios of events in history. It weaves them with personal, familial, and societal conflicts they affect. It borders on the least likely outcomes of historical events. They are often endured by arrogant and self-indulgent attitudes. The Orthodoxy of Arrogance is the story of sheer will. It is a fictional account of one believing in oneself to the point of selfishness. It is the conflict of ego and how it can work to disrupt human emotions.

In itself, Chapin’s World has stood alone as a vast storehouse of worthless, yard-sale memories and nearly forgotten calamities. Most of which could have been avoided with a simple plan, or root intelligence. Even though the author’s wife, Sunshine, has rounded out most of his rough edges, she admits that no job was too small for Chapin to not make big mistakes. Chapin displays a collection of inept, unwanted constructions, and suffers through unpleasant circumstances with humorous shenanigans. Feel free to jeer at Papa’s inability to decorate for Christmas with the Grandlings, or escape jury duty. Take an unscheduled ride to a home away from home, investigate a blown fuse, and relive a feeble attempt to dismantle an old-fashioned TV antenna. Treasures of the Past will drag you through the scream door, and allow you to be overrun by buffalos and rude dogs. You won’t know whether to bow before the author, or call the caretakers, because no one appears to be safe from the devious disclosures of JC. Treasures of the Past would be considered outrageous, and totally fabricated exaggerations, if the author’s personality was not so well documented. Beware; the most ‘self-loved’ author has unleashed some newly penned mischief. Go ahead -- turn these pages for a memorable dose of humor in Chapin’s World: Treasures of the Past.

“An unnerving and surreal meditation on the demons that haunt us and on the nature(s) of evil. Compelling and unsettling” (Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World). Thomas hears voices, and the worst of these voices belongs to a demon called Dinn. In a series of increasingly horrific rants, the demon reframes Thomas’s declining mental health as a part of a secret training program, an occult procedure designed to cultivate the demons of tomorrow. In the distorted world depicted by Dinn, gateways to hell lie behind every door. Friends and family are the enemy. And the only way for Thomas to survive his training is to dedicate himself to the demon’s prescribed rituals of loneliness, ill health, and pain. Equal parts ferocious and seductive, Mutilation Song is a boundary-shattering horror novel that uses a hallucinatory narrator to explore the extremes of mental illness. “A fabulous nightmare of hypnotic logorrhea, strewn with visions worthy of a Clive Barker on acid.” —Nicolas Winter, Just a Word “Mutilation Song is without question a poison, but it is also a kind of scripture . . . You’re gonna love this one.” —Tony Burgess, author of Pontypool Changes Everything “Jason Hrivnak, who, with The Plight House, made a masterful entry into the literature of malaise, now gives us this new Song added to hell, this poetical call to damnation.” —Alain Nicolas, L’Humanité “Dazzling and suffocating, this violent plunge into the demonism of schizophrenia opens an entire world-in-a-book, a labyrinth of shifting voices, of truths to be deciphered . . . A truly great novel.” —La viduité
