About the author

My name is Brian Barr. I am a published fiction author. Along with novels and short stories, I've also written comic books, including the Empress series with Chuck Amadori. I am NOT the author of God's Plan for Us, written by some other Brian Barr.

My debut novel is Carolina Daemonic, Book I: Confederate Shadows. My second novel is Psychological Revenge: The First Super Inc. Novel, and I have a short story collection called Daemensions. All books are out now on Amazon, for Kindle and Print.

Carolina Daemonic is a dystopian alternative timeline urban fantasy-horror with LGBT, steampunk, and occult elements.

Psychological Revenge is a fun, campy superhero novel with zany villains and lots of action.

Check out my short stories, some of which are in anthologies, a few reprinted on Kindle for .99 cents.

Thank you for visiting my page.

Barr is a master storyteller, and this is an out-of-this-world story collection that I couldn’t put down.

[Jabriel Shakoor · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first encounter with Brian Barr’s books, and after reading “Daemensions,” I am absolutely a fan! This was such a great collection in every way possible. I’ve read short stories that were just flat, and with typical endings you could see coming, then by the end, you didn’t really care what happened. With “Daemensions” this was not the case.
Each story stood out on its own, and existed in its own alternate dimensional world. Brian Barr’s writing shines most in his description, and creative imagination. As a reader, you will be transported into different time periods, past and future, archaic and tech noir, with each story sometimes blending historical scenarios, ethnic mythology, and good old fantasy fiction. My favorite chapters were, “Dead Woman’s Hand: A Carolina Daemonic Short Story,” (which centers around female pirates and zombies.) “The Coldest Heart,” (a Grieving Celtic king, a frozen lake, and a witch who is more than what she seems.) And “Wisdom in Black Seas and Eternal Lands a Carolina Daemonic Short Story,” (which centers around an ancient book of black magic, a meeting of privateers, all set in colonial America.)
Such a great collection, by Brian Barr, that fills the mind, fuels the imagination, and connects the reader with the doomed characters and darkness… of Daemensions!
