Mad Men is a disturbing dark fiction anthology written to better understand the sublime and the infinite strangeness that drives us all. When these writers set out to tell a story, they are less interested in conveying fear and more interested in wonder, the sublime, and the infinite strangeness in which our lives are entrenched.
Mainstream Horror Shorts don’t always satisfy us in the way they should. They don’t open conversations about what we fear, or why we fear such things, they focus mainly on pop culture and gore. The writers in this anthology understand the need for literate horror, opening discussions of man’s psyche.

We start with Matt’s tale, a thought-provoking thriller which causes the reader to question his reality and what he fears within himself. The second tale explores the grotesque juxtaposed with beautiful nature, where the ending unfolds into a horrific dream, waking in even more terrible pain. The third tale is by seasoned horror writer, A.R. Braun – and his diabolical creatures never disappoint! A.R. Braun’s goal is to be on the banned book list; we think this tale may be evil enough to be considered. A must-read before it does get banned!
Mad Men is a three-story horror short anthology by A.R. Braun, Matt “Love-it or” Leavitt, and Willy Martinez.
