edit data

Joshua Bish is the author behind the Psalms of the Tear horror series, including The Lady in Flesh and Room 316. A former soldier and current campus police officer, he draws from real-world darkness to craft stories filled with psychological dread, creeping supernatural forces, and characters who don’t always survive the night. His work blends Appalachian folklore, cosmic horror, and twisted human psychology—leaving readers disturbed, haunted, and wanting more.

When he's not writing or patrolling campus, Joshua is spending time with his growing family, or planning another story that will make you sleep with the lights on. ...more

Chapter 7 Blog: “The Bleeding Walls of Memory”

The Shadow Realm isn’t a place; it’s a wound that refuses to scar. Corridors inhale, light leaks from living walls. She floats past doors that whisper older-than-prayer, back to the chamber of flesh where names are carved by teeth—Kayla, Zoe, Madison—each one pulsing. Evelyn remains a stubborn scar. Ahead, a blank door throbs with the future. The number isn’t hung yet, but she knows it: 316.
