Read Jaeger’s short story “[INSIDE JOHNNY:¥]” in Horrific Scribes August 2026.

Description: A NERVE-FEATURE captures the thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations of Johnny:¥—a dissociated gay porn star—allowing you to go inside his head as he subjects himself to a violent exploitation feature. However, as his torment becomes more extreme, it becomes clear that Johnny is playing a dangerous mind game, one that could either lead to his liberation or his destruction.
