Jerry W. Barksdale is a writer, musician, and artist based in Louisville, Kentucky. His work explores a shared mythology centered on inherited trauma and the dissolution of identity. Shunning conventional horror tropes, he focuses on the slow collapse of the self through narratives that are both bleak and poetic.

As a prolific musician, his background in extreme soundscapes shapes his prose at a structural level. He utilizes rhythm, pacing, and tonal contrast as foundational storytelling tools, rooting his fiction in a gritty, literary horror tradition.

His debut novella, A Tomb For The Broken, is scheduled for release through Broken Brain Books, followed by He Spoke Of Death in August. He is currently developing several other works within his connected universe.
