Tish Jackson Does Horror …Do You?

How Many Ways Can A Women Expunge Her Demons Through Murder?

Catharsis is the first short fiction collection by Tish Jackson. After being published in several notable anthologies, including the 2-17 Bram Stoker Award nominated Sycorax’s Daughters, these stories follow the theme of “Cheaters” with cheating boyfriends and women under siege. How does one deal with a life derailed into horrific circumstances, or a demon child taking an extreme liking to your innate maternal instinct? Prejudice rears its ugly head in one offering, except it is predicated on who is considered ‘alive’ instead of skin color. Sometimes, love is the culprit, causing murder and mayhem stemming from innocent misunderstandings. Other times the intent is evil from the get go but ends up backfiring in the WORST way. What we think are inanimate objects may come to life to fulfill a will of their own. And as always, the best laid plans usually go left in unimaginable scenarios full of blood, guts and regrets. All of these experiences, as varied and unexpected as they may be, always result in a much-needed release.
