John Eric (“J. E.”) Schleicher is an award-winning author who writes stories that leave behind a fantastical aftertaste long after reading. His short fiction has appeared in Creepy Podcast and Writers of the Future, Volume 40 and will appear in the forthcoming anthology, Year Six, by Black Hare Press.

His short story, “Squiddy,” was a winner of the Writers of the Future contest and is currently being novelized. When not reading or writing, he enjoys wandering wonderstruck (on two legs or knobby wheels) the mountains near his home in Missoula, Montana.

Can’t get enough of J.E.? You’re coming on a bit strong. But okay. He came ready. Discover his delights on his blog Dopamine’s Delight (subscribe below) or connect with him on Threads & Instagram @JESchleicher.
