Jason Mizer is the author of The Animal In Us, a gritty, psychological dystopian thriller that explores survival, power, and the limits of the human beast. His writing blends the grand with the grim, the fantastical with the brutally real, and the hammer with the heart. His debut novel throws readers into a world where civilization has collapsed, and only the ruthless thrive. At its core is Tetch, a man shaped by violence and survival, standing at the edge of a world where predator and prey are one and the same. When not writing or creating (yes, too many hobbies), he’s either locked in tickle fights with his three girls or enjoying a much-needed quiet date with his wife—because three loud girls make for one wild household. He survives by retreating to his man-cave, where he writes, plays guitar, and dreams of finally getting a dog.
