This is where our worst impulses take us. This is the past come back to do much more than haunt us. These are the moments where we cross into madness, never to return. This is what happens when we devote ourselves wholeheartedly to acting out...

ALL THE WRONG IDEAS

From parasite-riddled pulp experiments to post-apocalyptic road trip freak-outs, from suddenly self-aware nuke narratives to tales of revenge told in reverse, ALL THE WRONG IDEAS collects the earliest and most absurd stories from bestselling weird fiction phenomenon Jeremy Robert Johnson in one wild, wondrous volume. Includes the novella "Extinction Journals," the brand new short story "The Seat of Reason," and 17 other unsettling entry points into JRJ's dark, delirious, and definitively damaged world.

"Johnson writes with an energy that propels you through some very dark spaces indeed and into something profoundly unsettling but nonetheless human."

―Brian Evenson, author of A Collapse of Horses

"I've seen the future and it's bizarre, it's beautifully berserk, it's Jeremy Robert Johnson."

―Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians

"A powerful imagination, a great talent for storytelling, writing chops that allow him to tackle any genre, and a flowing, dynamic voice that, if Johnson were a singer, would extend to an impressive eight octaves."

―Electric Literature
