Justin H. Briggs, author of “Insanity Comes To Mind: A Memoir On Mental Health, is pleased to announce the release of The Kansas Thrillogy, an apocalypse in three parts, available now via Amazon.

“The memoir was written out of necessity. I had few other options than to write about myself. My first thought after completing the writing for the manuscript for my memoir on mental health was, ‘What do I write now?’” Briggs states on his personal website.

 

Briggs spent five years writing three novellas, in locations both near and far, from his hometown lake to a Kansas City public library to a chateau in France. The journey of fiction being what it is, the three titles represent an artistic statement both in regard to self-publication and fiction in general.

 

Briggs added that this “thrillogy” is meant for each novella to both stand independently of the other two, but insists the three titles function best as a collection of progressive thrills when read as follows:

 

  1. Social Norms: Everybody Dies Zombie Apocalypse

  1. Sangre Familia: Blood Flows Vampire Apocalypse

A sticker showing a cross made of nails and wrapped in thorny vines, with blood dripping down.
  1. System Shock: The End Is Nigh Artificial Intelligence Apocalypse

A sticker depicting a stylized building engulfed in flames and surrounded by red splatters.

 

“After five years of writing, a three-part apocalyptic vision of a fiction I hope we avoid in all ways parlayed both literally and allegorically herein, my first full swing at fiction,” Briggs adds.

 

The Kansas Thrillogy; “Social Norms: Everybody Dies”, “Sangre Familia: Blood Flows”, and “System Shock: The End Is Nigh”, are all available now on Amazon. For further information with regard to the author and his work, please visit the website.
