Synopsis

In the horror industry, few titles reach mainstream status and become embedded in the musty grains of modern society. Most either fly under the radar or become catastrophic commercial flops. Still, some others reach a level of notoriety unlike the rest – a cult-like status that wins the hearts of those who get to experience it while avoiding the triviality and forgery of the mainstream. TUNE IN AND LOSE YOUR MIND! is a story about how I developed a love for horror, created a double-feature television show that championed the genre with a good friend, scared the mayor of our small town, then watched it all come crashing down. It’s a story about passion, courage and sticking it to the man … even if the man still ends up winning.

About this title

About the Author

Justin became a writer in the second grade when he wrote a piece of fiction based on a scenario I'd built in my basement, recreating - yet improving - the story of "Terminator 2: Judgement Day." There was more action and way more violence than the R-rated film, yet his teacher raved about how well-written the story was. It was just an idea that he came up with on the fly for the sake of completing the assignment but his passion for the written word has only continued to grow ever since.Justin lives just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, with his ever-so-supportive rock star wife. Though his background is in short fiction and horror stories, nowadays he prefer to write non-fiction in the form of observational essays.
