Joan D'Arc

Joan d’Arc’s supernatural fiction has appeared in: Existential Hologram: A Science Fiction Anthology, Lovecraftiana (Vol 7, Issue 2 and Vol 7, Issue 3), Schlock! (Dec 2022), Other Worlds Vol 2, Ruffles Repair and Ritual, Danse Macabre, and Huntergatheress Journal (Vols 1 and 2). Her speculative fiction follows decades of writings on supernatural, occult, UFO, and Forteana subjects, dozens of which were published in such collections as Paranoia Magazine, UFO Magazine, Namaste (UK), Secret and Suppressed II, The Universal Seduction, Wake Up Down There!, UFO Digest, LaGazette Forteenne (translated to French) and Hellraiser Homemaker, the Gonzo Domestic Survival Guide.

She is the past publisher of Paranoia Magazine (1992–2012), Newspeak Katazine (1995-1997) and HunterGatheress Journal (Vol. 1, 2008, Vol. 2, 2009), published in Providence, Rhode Island. She is the author of Space Travelers and the Genesis of the Human Form, and Phenomenal World, both published by The Book Tree, and Conspiracy Geek, published by Sisyphus Press. She is the co-editor of The Conspiracy Reader and The New Conspiracy Reader, translated into Japanese and Romanian.

Her short story collection, Friends of Apis Radio, is a work of fabulism and supernatural horror. Fabulism is a form of magical realism in which fantastical elements are imposed onto an everyday setting. This sub-genre combines science fiction, horror, realism and fairytale. The fabulist tales in Friends of Apis Radio lure the reader into an aberrant world, ferried by a surrogate psychopomp in an unconventional transport, such as a pneumatic tube, a carpet of bees, or an antique locomotive. Once in the sway of the untrustworthy other, the characters are beguiled, misled on a fantastical trip.

In a writing style rich in aerial movement and numinous trickster guides, this fabulist short story collection from Paranoia Magazine’s Joan d’Arc squeezes you between the elevator doors and yells, "Going up!" Here are fourteen tales featuring monstrous honey bees, an undead swindler, squid computer geeks and hungry teenage aliens—surrealism and supernatural horror never used this much super glue.
