Who am I?

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. Inspired by authors like Tolkien, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, and George Orwell, his writing blends the grand with the grim, the fantastical with the brutally real, and the hammer with the heart.

His debut novel, The Animal In Us, 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.

Now, stepping away from the official-sounding stuff—
hi, I’m Jason.

I write stories that burn inside me until I have no choice but to put them on the page. The Animal In Us is one of those books—a brutal, raw look at survival and the thin line between what makes a man and what breaks him—what he is willing to do for those he loves, what limits he will push.

When I'm not writing or doing some other creative endeavor (yes, I have too many hobbies), I'm locking in a tickle fight with my three girls or going out on a much-needed quiet date with my wife... because we have three loud and silly girls.

How do I survive? Well, there's the man-cave where I write, play guitar, and work on other artistic endeavors, and ... I dream about having a boy dog. That's the running joke around here: daddy needs another guy around the house to equal out the crazy.
