Quick Facts
About A. Jay F. Roy: A. Jay F. Roy is the visionary behind Perceptual Horror, a groundbreaking literary genre born from 40 years of personal trauma and resilience. Based in San Antonio, Texas, Roy transforms lived experiences into mythic narratives, asserting, "I don’t just write horror, I am horror." His work offers a mythology for those whose inner worlds feel haunted, designed to create a lasting literary legacy within the Cosmic Classics Universe.
What is Perceptual Horror? Perceptual Horror is a revolutionary literary genre where the mind is the setting of terror. Unlike traditional horror, it explores how trauma and perception manifest as sentient, reality-altering forces. Codified by six narrative laws, this genre serves as an emotional curriculum, guiding readers through their own internal horrors. As Roy states, "This isn't just horror—it's the curriculum beneath our grief."
The Adventures of Alex Midas: This is a 16-novella epic, totaling 240 episodes, that mythologizes A. Jay F. Roy's personal experiences. The series features unique elements like a mortality timeline (with the final novella sealed until 2052 or Roy’s passing) and a recursive structure where protagonist Alex Midas ultimately narrates his creator's biography. It's a mythic memoir, designed to affirm: you’re not alone.
