“True, great horror. I love this book.”—Chris Lackey, The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast
J.R. Hamantaschen returns with a collection of his inimitable weird, dark, and imaginative fiction. In these intelligent and haunting stories, Hamantaschen pushes the boundaries of horror, exploring the deepest corners of the human psyche with an unflinching eye.
With a voice reminiscent of Thomas Ligotti, Clive Barker, and Chuck Palahniuk, Hamantaschen masterfully crafts a unique blend of the uncanny and the profound.

“If you’re looking for a short story collection unlike anything you’ve ever read, look no further. Definitely worth the investment of time.”—The Behrg Writes

“With nightmarish monsters and the toll prejudice and judgment can take on one's conscience, With a Voice is like a modern-day Tales from the Crypt.”—Nova Holiday
