Welcome to the World of James H. Summers
Author | Veteran | Architect of Psychological Horror
In my fiction, realism collides with dread. A vampire hides in plain sight as a psychologist (First Responder). A fractured family unravels under the weight of restless spirits (Picking Murphys). A camping trip spirals into obsession and violence (Site 123). A therapist’s own illness drives them to judge who deserves to heal—and who deserves to die (They Heinous). And in Bereft Reality, a self-improvement program for women conceals a nightmare of ambition and control.
My stories expose the horrors that already live inside us—the choices, cravings, and moral fractures that shape who we become.
