Jacen Patchwork

Jacen Patchwork is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the quiet violence of survival, the illusions of identity, and the shadowed edges of memory.

He writes horror, poetry, and introspective fiction from the perspective of someone who has lived through collapse—both personal and systemic. A survivor of neurodivergence, illness, and institutional failure, Jacen doesn’t flinch from the parts of life most people pretend not to see.

His books Devil’s Song, I Am the World, and The Middle Room (a revised version of his debut novel) are fragments of a larger self—each a window into the brittle beauty of living with too much memory.

When not writing or recording music under the name Patchwork Jack, Jacen spends his time building fictional worlds, walking his dog Sally, and speaking aloud the things most people keep buried.
