About James H. Summers
James H. Summers is a certified IT professional, a native of Illinois, and a proud U.S. military veteran whose writing blurs the boundary between psychological realism and horror. His dark fiction examines morality, identity, obsession, and the fragile line between survival and ruin.
He is the author of five published novels—Bereft Reality, Picking Murphys, First Responder, Site 123, and They Heinous—and several forthcoming works expanding the First Responder universe.
Through his stories, Summers invites readers to confront the monsters we create to endure: the ones sitting across the table, walking beside us, or hiding behind our reflection.
