PsyKu: A Work of Forensic Prose

by Solomon Archer

An unapologetic bastardization of revered Japanese tradition, PsyKu follows the lives of offenders on their journey through the legal system - from the first stirrings of criminal activity to arrest, incarceration, and ultimately release. Distilled into 17 syllables of dark humor and morose commentary by a forensic psychologist with a Disciple Complex and a rampant case of cynicism. PsyKu is equally likely to amuse and offend.
So if you've ever been fascinated with the bizarre, perplexed by the law, or simply dumbfounded by the idiotic things man does to his fellow man, this book is for you. If not, then this book is probably about you...

About the author

Solomon Archer is the 2014 Masters of the Macbre winner for his short story SURFACE TENSION. A criminal psychologist by day and writer by night, Archer is currently the Chief Psychologist of the XXXXXXX State Department of Corrections. He spends much of his time working with serious and dangerously mentally ill offenders, some of whom are not so disorganized that they couldn’t figure out a way to free themselves from their restraints and stab him in the head with an altered food tray. (Incidentally, the going rate for shanking a psychologist is two pounds of coffee and three bags of Top tobacco. You know, just in case you were curious).

Archer’s short stories have appeared in Wrapped In White: Thirteen Tales of Spectres, Ghosts, and Spirits and the new Wrapped In Black: Thirteen Tales of Witches and the Occult. His book PSYKU: A Work of Forensic Prose will release later this year by Sekhmet Press. Follow the lives of criminal offenders, as distilled into 17-syllable snapshots of dark humor and morose commentary, by a forensic psychologist with a Disciple Complex and a rampant case of cynicism.
