"Stories seething with the best kind of weirdness, paranoia, and terror, accompanied by just enough humor and wit to keep it fun." -- Amazon reviewer."If you're looking for traditional horror and sci-fi tropes, move on. If, on the other hand, you want to read about things that I guarantee you never could have imagined, Joan d'Arc's collection fits the bill." -- Amazon reviewer.Friends of Apis Radio by Joan d'Arc is a work of fabulism and supernatural horror. Fabulism is a form of magical realism in which fantastical elements are superimposed on an everyday setting. This sub-genre combines science fiction, horror, realism and fairytale. It looks at the mundane through a magical, supernatural lens as it moves through multiple planes of reality. It brings fables, folk tales and myths into contemporary social relevance. Fed from a deep-rooted dread of death and an uncomfortable sense of humor regarding taboo themes, Joan d'Arc's fabulist tales 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, murderous ghost girls, squid computer geeks and hungry teenage aliens--surrealism and supernatural horror never used this much super glue. Joan d'Arc's speculative fiction follows decades of writings on supernatural, occult, UFO, and Forteana subjects, dozens of which were published in such collections as Paranoia, UFO Magazine, Namaste, Secret and Suppressed II, The Universal Seduction, Wake Up Down There!, UFO Digest, and in her own books listed below.

Her non-fiction work has been published in Paranoia Magazine, UFO Magazine, Namaste Magazine (UK), Secret and Suppressed II, The Universal Seduction, UFO Digest, Wake Up Down There!, LaGazette Forteenne (in French) and Hellraiser Homemaker, the Gonzo Domestic Survival Guide.
